An annulment is available as a tool in two specific circumstances. If, in looking at a file, the charities directorate comes to the conclusion that it actually made an error in registering the organization in the first place, we'll essentially annul our decision. That's as opposed to a revocation. In a revocation, we don't annul the decisions; they were registered and they are now revoked.
The practical distinction between the two is that when a charity is revoked, it must divest all of its assets within a one-year period. They can do that either by disbursing their assets on their charitable programs or by gifting to eligible donees, which is another subcategory of qualified donees--I apologize to the committee--whereas in the case of an annulment, because we say we made a mistake, the charity is allowed to keep its assets.
There is another instance in which annulment is available, and that is if there has been a change in the law that now means that a charity is offside. We don't hold that against the charity.
