Thank you so much.
You have probably noticed that in the current economic context there are as many unemployed people as there were in 2008. This situation is particularly difficult for many Canadians who are suffering from this recession and have been for nearly four years now.
At this time, religious groups take up 46% of donations and their rate is actually the same as food banks. On that topic, I understood that you were just as favourable towards the idea of a single rate for donations lower than $200 and those over $200, but should we not consider the possibility of better targeting charitable organizations who truly help people who are in the most trouble? Food banks are truly essential for many Canadians. Mind you, one could say that certain organizations are not truly charitable organizations in the context of charitable donations. Which leads us to wonder about the way that charitable organizations are defined.
