You raise a very important question. I have always said, not only in my previous portfolio but even beforehand, that I've seen on the ground the tremendous work that charities can do because they have unique access. Even some that are small can have a massive impact, which I personally have seen.
I have made it a personal goal to work with a lot of Canadian charities and NGOs. I've been trying to speak with many of them so that our department can be more efficient. Putting the bill proposal aside, we will continue in our department to create and work toward greater efficiency. That's something we will definitely do.
When it comes to this particular bill, it doesn't impact us for us to continue, because it's more how the CRA functions. We are looking at how we can be more efficient. I think all our colleagues who are responsible for this would be open to looking at opportunities to allow charities to be more effective on the ground. At the same time, as the ministers responsible for our respective portfolios and taxpayer dollars, the control and accountability mechanisms also need to be in place. We need to figure out the right method and the balance for it.
