So the CRA people have changed that. They've said, okay, we're going to help to streamline the reporting.
That's where it works. It works when the government agency, whether it be municipal, provincial, or federal, sits down and says to a charity, okay, here's what we need, and then asks how they can best provide it and how it is easiest for them to provide so that it's not going to cost them a lot of money. What no government wants to do, I think, although there are certain things they should and must do, is put a burden on them that is going to add a huge cost.
The security check thing is always an annoying one, because it's something that's at the control of our colleagues on the government side, whether they be here in Ottawa, in St. John's, or in Halifax. It gets into the management of the police departments.
I live just outside of Halifax now, and I had a constituent with a complaint. She needed a security clearance. She was out of the country, teaching in Australia, so she needed a Canadian security clearance in order to be allowed to teach in Australia. She went to the police department in her local community in suburban Halifax, and she applied through a process that she'd used before because she had taught in other countries overseas and had never had a problem. Well, arbitrarily, somebody decided to move that approval out of Sackville, Nova Scotia, out of the province to someplace else. They centralized it a bit. That centralization, of course, meant that the stack on the desk in Sackville suddenly became very high, and I don't know whether it went to Ottawa or Gatineau.
Those are the regulations that people don't understand. It probably makes some sense for the management of the police department, but it sure doesn't help people who are trying to do good work in the community.
