Thank you, Chair.
I always find it great to learn a lot when the officials come to the finance committee, or any committee for that matter, so the more time we have to ask them questions, whether those on the other side agree with some of the measures or not, the better. It's good to ask them questions and the more time we have with them the better.
Moving on to part 1, paragraph (l) of the summary of the bill mentions the measures in the BIA for registered charities that allow them to enter into charitable partnerships with organizations other than qualified donees under certain conditions. I would like to get an explanation of that from the officials.
One reason, obviously, is that during COVID, charities were impacted considerably across Canada and our government stepped up and assisted them in many venues and with many measures. How is this measure effective for charities? I believe it has long been asked for by charitable organizations.
