moved for leave to introduce Bill C-262, an act to require charitable and non-profit organizations that receive public funds to declare the remuneration of the directors and senior officers.
Madam Speaker, this private member's bill would provide penalty for those not for profit organizations which fail to disclose the salary and benefits of their executive officers. This includes non-profit organizations as well as charities.
This is the type of accountability that the public is now demanding of those organizations which directly or indirectly receive taxpayers' funds.
This bill is in the same form that Bill C-224 was at the time of prorogation of the first session of the 35th Parliament.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
