Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My questions will focus on own activities, direction and control, and charities.
Thank you, Mr. Clayton, for all pf the great work you do, and not just with Samaritan's Purse. I know that you've been active for many years on this front of direction and control.
I want to clarify one thing. I had a similar discussion with Bruce MacDonald. It's on the idea that the amendment you would be suggesting would not reduce the amount of accountability and transparency; in fact, it may actually increase it.
What you are attempting to do is put in a different type of accountability, one that puts substance over form, in that while the 800 words will require a lot of forms, a lot of lawyer fees and a lot of bureaucrats, it won't provide any greater substantive review or transparency or accountability.
Am I correct in suggesting that, Mr. Clayton?
