There's a way in which we could work with Statistics Canada to do some of that data gathering. The general social survey on giving, volunteering and participating happens every five years. There may be an opportunity to do a bit of a research study as well through academic partners, where they are doing some more qualitative data gathering. I believe there's a way it could be done in partnership across academic institutions as well. Then working through the survey on business conditions with some more focused questions might be another opportunity to speak to charities and non-profits specifically.
