I did have a chance to look at the website that you referred me to relating to practice of disclosure. I have a couple of questions, and maybe suggestions.
Why not include the total number of employees in each bracket of the amount made? It seems fairly easy to do, because it's already being done, for the most part. You have the total number of employees, and then you have the top 10 in each sector. A particular organization that I give to has only 21 employees. I can imagine that even if they had thousands, it would still be fairly simple to put them into each bracket, to be blunt. That would certainly give you a good idea of what kind of organization it is, such as whether it's hands-on or executive or administrative, and it would help Canadians, I think, donate to those particular organizations that fit their needs.
Also, with respect to schedule 5, non-cash gifts, is that a per-year schedule of gifts? For instance, this organization that I looked at was $39 million. Is that per year or is it overall in the life of the organization? It wasn't specified on the website. I'd just refer you to that.
I also looked for third party expenditures and contractors. In one particular case that I looked at, professional and consulting fees amounted to half a million dollars. It was a small charity. I would suggest a breakdown of those types of organizations and contractors would be very helpful. I think it gives opportunities to organizations to enrich certain types of people in the organizations themselves through professional fees. As an ex-lawyer, I can assure you that people look at all sorts of ways to defraud others of money, and I think it would be greatly encouraged to do exactly that.
