Okay, I appreciate that.
Mr. Carmichael, a concern has been raised by a number of members on both sides. Just to address it again, is the government in the position, then, of favouring certain charities over others? How would the government decide that, for instance, donations to a low-income housing support charity are more or less important than donations to, say, military families funds for families that have lost loved ones as a result of their serving in the Canadian military?
How does a government, beyond saying that this should receive a charitable donation number, say that this one charity should receive more of a donation, or more of a credit, than that charity? How would you actually go about deciding that?
