There's a whole host of things that would reduce the regulatory burden on the local campaigns. I highlighted a few of them.
Obviously we do want accountability; we do want to make sure. But some of these provisions.... For instance, if you have no financial transactions, it's very hard to explain to somebody why they have to open up a credit union or bank account. This is from our perspective and how we train our local teams.
We keep putting them through all these hoops. These are volunteers. These are people with jobs, with families, people who are taking their kids to soccer and to dance. They don't have time to go through motions. If you have absolutely no financial transactions, you have to open up a bank account, and if you don't receive very much revenue coming in from donations or expenditures going out, you still have to do an audit. Nobody is saying they shouldn't do returns, but an audit...? Many times our people have phoned and said, “Who drew up these rules--the Auditing Association of Canada?” I mean, come on.
