This legislation would sweep in every labour organization in Canada—not just unions, but every labour organization, including all of my labour councils. I have 136 labour councils, all run by volunteers. Most of their budgets are less than $1,000 to $1,500 a year. This will sweep all of them into this legislation.
It's not the same as the regulations in the labour board, which say that union members, with their unions, can get this information. This legislation sweeps everybody in. As well, it doesn't just ask for financials; it asks for exclusive, very highly detailed reporting that we think will cost us tens of millions of dollars as organizations across the country, and more.
