Episode description

Canada currently doesn’t have legislation mandating a non-binding vote of shareholders on executive compensation, but legislation percolating on Parliament Hill in Ottawa is likely soon to change the situation. That’s according to Catherine McCall, executive director of the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance in Toronto. McCall talked to The Deal for its Activist Investing Today podcast about why she thinks a Canadian federal government amendment requiring a non-binding say on pay has a “pretty high” chance of being adopted. She also touched on the group’s efforts regarding director qualifications, when it comes to environmental and social risks as well as about efforts to gently push Canadian companies into becoming more diverse.
