I think there are some unique issues around tax incentives for volunteer firefighters or emergency services volunteers in terms of how volunteering plays out and the cost implications of volunteering. I think that's a bit of a unique niche.
But just generally there is no basis that a tax incentive is an incentive to volunteer. Our research and research from Volunteer Alberta conveys that's really not the case.
I also think there are way too many questions that are still around about that whole issue. The concern about quantifying volunteering and the picture that presents about altruism and the role of volunteers in our community is also really concerning. When you look at quantifying volunteering in terms of the hours contributed and an hourly wage rate, you really miss the human capital and social capital that is built through volunteering.
Our concern is about simply looking at volunteering in a quantifiable sense.
