Finance committee It currently requires disclosure of legal activity. I think that should be excluded.

Finance committee Again, I think labour trusts should be exempted from the bill.

Finance committee I don't have a response. I really don't understand how that amendment would work.

Finance committee Well, I think I addressed that before. It would in respect...but it would still cause concerns for the privacy question.

Finance committee You never ask a lawyer to go into detail and then say they have a short time.

Finance committee The problem from the constitutional point of view is that it requires such extensive reporting of payor/payee reasons for the transaction with respect to political activities, lobbying activities, and organizing activities, as well as collective bargaining activities, that this c

Finance committee From the CBA's perspective, the bill is obviously an amendment to the Income Tax Act. It would have to be supported on that basis. It wasn't clear to us on the face of this bill what income tax-related purpose the bill was attempting to achieve. It seems to have potentially maybe

Finance committee There isn't, not on the face of the bill as it is currently drafted.

Finance committee When it comes to those issues, I think we're getting confused between items that are under provincial jurisdiction and those that are under federal jurisdiction. What we heard from Mr. Kelly is a concern that's addressed in provincial legislation. Provinces, as we know, will have

Finance committee Yes.

Michael Mazzuca
Finance committee If I may, one of our biggest concerns with the bill, and we have a few, is with respect to its extremely broad definition of labour trusts. We've already heard several times this afternoon that it includes a number of entities, which may or may not have been the intention of this
