Mr. Speaker, the rules governing registered charities strictly limit the percentage of funds raised that may be used for partisan indoctrination.
A begging letter which I recently received from the David Suzuki Foundation describes its mission to initiate “profound changes in our economic systems, in government structure and priorities, in the organization of our communities and in the way we live”. That sounds pretty political to me.
There are far too many registered charities whose principal activities are raising lots of money and distributing propaganda.
If Dr. Suzuki wants to change the system, he should stop abusing it and run for parliament instead.
