Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Revenue.
A leaked document reveals that a number of Canadian environmental organizations are acting as a front for huge American corporate and family trusts. Millions of dollars are funnelled into Canada every year.
Today we find that the Sierra Legal Defence Fund and the David Suzuki Foundation among others are counting on this money to finance a smear campaign and manipulate share prices of Canadian based Redfern Resources to scare off investors and kill a mining project in northern B.C.
Why is the minister extending charitable status to these organizations? When is he going to commit to removing it for these environmental terrorists?
