Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague is quite right, and that is what I was saying to my hon. colleague from the NDP.
Strengthening the act in this way will give volunteers greater confidence in the organization, because it will also tighten up the rules and procedures.
People will not feel constrained by these organizations. Some people said that not-for-profit organizations were not accountable to their members. Now, because this act will ensure greater transparency, once a month or on a quarterly basis, members will be able to consult all the books, statements of accounts, expenses and payrolls. This transparency will satisfy all volunteers. Volunteers will therefore have greater confidence in these organizations.
