Thank you, Mr. MacDonald.
When I compare Bill C‑19 with Bill S‑216, my take-away is that the Department of Finance was concerned that certain provisions of Bill S‑216 could be abused, making it possible for resources to be used for a non-charitable purpose. That is problematic from an accountability standpoint. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Do you think ill-intentioned people would be able to use charitable donations for non-charitable purposes?
The prescriptive nature of this legislation seems to be borrowed from the American law. Are we to understand that the American model is the best way to oversee a charitable partnership system?
