The Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children is an umbrella group of organizations across the country that work with children. We have a 10-member board, which has a number of the larger children's organizations on it. It also has some academics who work on children's issues.
Right now we don't have any sustained funding, so yes, I work as a volunteer. I guess my age shows I'm doing that now as a volunteer. At one time it did have more funding. It doesn't now.
We are doing what we can. Our mandate is to increase public awareness about children's rights across the country. It is to bring the children's rights perspective to a variety of issues, which we have done. Also, we have a particular role in responding to the reports on monitoring children's rights in the country.
