Let me give you a little background on that.
In 2012, we changed the approach used by the government to designate foreign organizations as charitable organizations by adding some conditions. Yes, a state donation is needed. In addition, the charitable organization must carry out certain activities.
If you don't mind, I will continue in English.
That's just for disaster relief or humanitarian aid, or if it's in the national interest of Canada.
What this provision does in this budget is it extends these rules not only to what we refer to as charitable organizations but also charitable foundations. This is to add flexibility, because in an international context, for instance, it may be a bit more difficult to determine the nuance, the distinction. It gives more flexibility and it allows what would be considered a foundation under our rules here to still qualify if all the other conditions are met. That's basically the purpose of this provision.
