Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ladies and gentlemen, the tax regime applicable to charities has several flaws. For example, the 2010 Auditor General of Canada's report noted that, in 2010, out of 41,000 Canada Revenue Agency employees, only 40 auditors had been assigned to audit 85,000 charities across Canada. This seems extremely low compared to what we see in other sectors covered by the Canada Revenue Agency.
