Ms. Krause also testified that after a six-month investigation on her part, she filed a report with Elections Canada. Elections Canada representatives went to Vancouver to discuss the contents of that report, which suggested that of 42 charitable organizations investigated by the CRA, 41 were found to be less than compliant, and recommendations were pending that five of them be disqualified entirely as charitable agencies.
Her testimony was that Elections Canada effectively communicated that the agency's hands are tied because the CRA would shut down those investigations, or never report on those audits, and does not share that sort of information with Elections Canada.
