At the dawn of a new century, the third sector has become increasingly embedded in the business of government in Canada. What is the nature of this relationship? What does it forecast for Canadian public policy? This collection of essays, the second in the Public Policy and the Third Sector series, analyses the role of the nonprofit sector and its links with both the state and society in Canada. The Nonprofit Sector and Government in a New Century captures the complexities and contradictions in the relationship between the nonprofit sector and government, and highlights the struggles of nonprofit organizations to respond to an environment defined by increased expectations and constrained resources. Contributors include Keith Banting, Kathy Brock, Jack Quarter (OISE), Caroline Andrew (University of Ottawa), James Rice (McMaster University), Darcy Mitchell (Mitchell Consulting), Joesph Tindale (University of Guelph), and Luc Theriault (University of Regina).

The authors of this book look at the relationships in different provincial settings, focusing on Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan, examining the defining influence of government welfare programmes on the lives of two local religious orders in Atlantic Canada. The authors argue that both the public and the nonprofit sectors are changing. In the public sector, the traditional dominance of central governments has given way to a governance system that interweaves action at the global, national, regional and local levels. In the nonprofit sector, groups are assuming new organizational forms and engaging in public policy more centrally, both as advocates and service providers. Not surprisingly, relations between these two sectors involve a complex series of delicate dances, in which mis-steps by either partner can produce tangled confusion.
