In partnership with all our members, MANSO can play an important role in identifying issues that positively and negatively affect the integration of newcomers, which means that we can inform and enrich many policy conversations. We believe it will strengthen our work with the government and the general public to identify areas of consensus or common ground on policy issues among our membership and to be able to “speak with one voice” on issues of key concern.
