Comments on the PRESENT Bill
• A social enterprise is a business with a mission. Its
best features are (1) private character, but cross with
government as it aims to correct market failures and
address equity concerns; (2) efficiency, pragmatism is
a principle; and (3) sustainability, this is the
distinguishing feature relative to a private enterprise
or a non government organization.
• Best practices and social enterprise models that
could be adapted and applied to ensure success rates
and sustainability.
