TORONTO, Aug. 27, 2012 /CNW/ - For the fifth consecutive year the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario (ICAO) will sponsor TVO's flagship current affairs program The Agenda with Steve Paikin.

"The program consistently delivers thought-provoking and intelligent discussion on important issues that shape our province. Every weeknight, The Agenda attracts a highly influential audience of policy-makers and opinion leaders. We're delighted to be associated with it."
The Agenda with Steve Paikin is the gold standard for in-depth analysis and thoughtful debate, providing an Ontario perspective of the critical issues that shape the province.
