Mr. Speaker, once again it is difficult to comment directly about a specific case. It is not our practice to do that.
However, in general terms I can assure the hon. member any attempt to avoid the existing law as it has been laid down by the courts will be objected to by Revenue Canada. The law should be applied directly and fairly to all, as it has been in the past. It is always possible for people to attempt to alter the nature of an organization's objectives or to alter the nature of gifts to a charitable organization or to bring it within a charitable status. That is within their right. We will examine it thereafter when we receive that information and determine whether it meets the law.
We insist any organization that attempts to get charitable status meet the full requirements of the law.
