Information & Ethics committee  I don't know how the CRA interpreted that, but the fact is that the CRA has come out with a report saying it audited 42 charities for their political activity, and 41 out of the 42 were not fully compliant—41 out of 42. Since then, nothing has happened. My understanding, just fro

Information & Ethics committee  Good morning, Mr. Chairman. It's a privilege to appear before your committee. Thank you for the opportunity. My name is Vivian Krause. I'm a Canadian writer and I have done extensive research on the funding of environmental and elections activism. My understanding is I have bee

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Sir, if you'd done a little more reading, you would know the individual who wrote that has said he's funded by the Vancouver Observer, which is in turn funded by the Tides foundation. In other words, he's receiving money as part of...or he has said he has, anyway. His name is Mar

Procedure and House Affairs committee  One is called the DI Foundation. That's the name of it. The DI Foundation has only ever done one thing—only ever one thing—and that was to receive money from the Tides Canada foundation, pass it to the Salal Foundation, which then funds the Dogwood Initiative, which is one of the

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I'll give you a quick answer to your first question. I don't think it would be practical to make the election period long enough to keep out foreign money. Practically speaking, in the case of the previous election, you'd have to make it a two-year period, or something like that.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I can tell you, sir, that if I found on the right side of the political spectrum any sort of multi-million-dollar campaign trying to target a specific industry, let alone one of the most economically important industries of our country, I'd have no hesitation in shining a light o

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I think there were 12 or 13 organizations all partially funded by the Tides foundation based in San Francisco, which, of course, is the hub of the tar sands campaign to landlock crude from western Canada. They hired a consultant specifically to review the impact of the, and I quo

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I'm glad you raised that because here is what happened. I spent four hours with the investigators from Elections Canada in September, and one of the conclusions I came to at the end is that Elections Canada can't do its job of keeping foreign money out until the charities directo

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Well, you've looked at the list. You won't find the name of the Online Progressive Engagement Network. You won't find the name of the Citizenship Engagement Laboratory on that list. They aren't there. They weren't reported.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  They don't donate. They provide in-kind support, which, of course, would have a dollar value, right? As I mentioned, my guess is—although I don't know because Leadnow has refused to answer any questions about this—that most of their input, their contribution, and their support r

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I would agree with my other colleague on the panel that this act is a missed opportunity if it doesn't address the issues. Here we are, three years away from—
