moved for leave to introduce Bill C-286, an act to amend the Income Tax Act.
Madam Speaker, this bill is an act to amend the Income Tax Act in connection with political activities by charities which receive public funds. The bill would disqualify from charitable status any corporations, trusts and organizations that have received discretionary funding from the government and then use that to promote or criticize any candidate or party in an election.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
