Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition on behalf of Canadians and the residents of Kamloops—Shuswap—Central Rockies.
The petitioners state that religious charities play a significant role in the charitable sector and the life of our country. More than 30,000 charities fall under the advancement of religion category, which is roughly 42% of the charitable sector.
The petition calls on the Government of Canada to reject the finance committee recommendations that would remove the advancement of religion as a charitable purpose.
