I'll answer that in English.
I haven't actually thought about that particular issue. Again, I represent organizations that don't tend to benefit from those kinds of incentives, except in the actual establishment of a foundation. I represent private foundations and some public foundations, largely. So I'll answer in general terms as opposed to speaking specifically on behalf of my members.
Certainly there is an interest in having greater tax incentives for giving. I think incentives are generous, and I have to say that the Department of Finance has many times told us that they believe that the incentives provided now for giving cash, and now assets, are as generous as anywhere in comparable jurisdictions. Certainly in North America, but probably in Europe, as well, they are more generous. Does that mean they're as generous as they could be? No. I think it would certainly be greeted with a lot of enthusiasm if we were to receive a boost in the incentives that are provided.
The message in this brief is that it's not just the giving of cash by individuals in the form of charitable donations that is important to the non-profit sector. In fact, the non-profit sector needs to have access to sources of financing that could take the form of loans or debt capital in some form. The capital market in Canada for charities is seriously underdeveloped.
That's what we would like to see more emphasis on now.
