Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll direct my questions to Mr. Bell.
We know that private charitable organizations, community groups and religious organizations are on the front lines, playing an integral role in helping Canadians get through this crisis. Certainly, Siloam Mission in Winnipeg is no exception.
You noted in your submission that 90% of the revenues generated by Siloam come from private donations. You spoke about what is anticipated to be a sharp decline in charitable giving. What measures do you think the federal government could take to encourage charitable giving at this time? Would you support, for example, increasing the charitable tax credit temporarily to encourage those Canadians who can afford to give to do so? What are your thoughts?
