Public Safety committee  Well, I'm not here to self-endorse our organization. I think the social impact bond or social finance mechanisms could be deployed by a range of different actors. What I'm saying is that if there's an actor that can act as an intermediary and that does that holistic wraparound support, they should be considered as an intermediary to do this.

Public Safety committee  Thank you, Chair and committee, for having my colleague Sarah and me here. We represent MaRS Discovery District in Toronto. Our centre focuses on the marketplace for impact investing, predominantly in Canada. We engage in numerous activities that research, build awareness for, or help develop this relatively new type of investment model that blends financial and social objectives.
