I would just like to take a few moments to clarify, and to say that Ms. Nash's comments were correct. So just to be on the record, those comments were right.
Regarding the charitable organizations, I think the chair has mentioned that we don't want CRA to be political regarding charities, but what is happening in this bill is that we're giving the right to the minister. Yes, Mr. McCauley, you said that CRA will give advice and then the minister has to follow it. That's not how I read it. What I really hear is that it provides the Minister of National Revenue with the authority to suspend the tax receipt privileges of a registered charity if the charity devotes resources to political activities in excess of the limits set out in the Income Tax Act.
So, yes, the CRA will be monitoring that, and, yes, there's the argument of what is reasonable, and CRA will look at it. At the end of the day, it's the Minister of National Revenue who will make the decision.
