All I wanted to do in this testimony today was to flag this issue for this committee.
I recognize that it's a complicated issue and there's not enough time to get into the details of it. However, what concerns me is that there are big issues with regard to the charities directorate and the charitable system which are not addressed at all. Meanwhile, some very minor issues are.
That's the point I wanted to make. It is simply that there is some tinkering at the edges with some minor issues. Meanwhile, as I've shown, there are some very big problems, and the budget does nothing to address them. That's simply the point I wanted to make.
As for the details of the political activity audits, it's clear to me, from my more than 20 years' experience in the charitable sector, that there were some violations of the law and that those are going on with impunity.
I just want to flag that for your knowledge and for this committee's consideration going forward.
