I hope it sounds good to my research assistant too, who should take some solace in that.
I am sure that most people in the House realize and recognize that Reform MPs are making considerable donations in their constituencies, as a percentage of their income, to charities. We are all fairly well versed in the charities that are available in the community. As the previous member also said, this is intended in no way to call into question the good which these charities and non-profit organizations do.
As a matter of fact, I could see this as being an augmentation to the good they do. If too much of their collected funds actually do go to administration and so forth, then I am sure the people who have volunteered many hours to ensure these organizations and charities are a success would be very disheartened to learn of exorbitant salaries and fees paid to board members and executives.
I do not intend to take up my full time on this bill. A few words are as good as many words in a case of this type.
