They should have to declare the beneficial ownership. That is our recommendation.
Organizations also have to declare funding sources or what they have received from other governments. That is currently a requirement. If there's another government funding an organization, they need to declare that. This may speak to the foreign ownership issue.
This is something that has come up in our statutory review. Lots of non-profits have said, “Hold on. I'm a non-profit that operates across the country, and I've received a grant from the Government of Alberta for this cultural programming I do. Why do I need to declare that?” Under our act, you do. Non-profits have recommended that this be addressed. We spoke sympathetically to that recommendation as well. I don't think it's of interest if someone got an arts grant from the Government of Alberta. I don't think that's the transparency people in British Columbia are interested in.
I am interested in whether the government of a foreign country is funding a company to lobby in British Columbia. I think that is something people in British Columbia want to know about or should want to know about.
