Remember Bill S-222<\/a>? It proposes to amend the Income Tax Act<\/em> in a way that would eliminate the \u201cown activities\u201d test, allow resource transfers, and move from \u201cdirection and control\u201d to \u201creasonable steps\u201d to ensure resources are used for only charitable purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a full review of the bill, check out this post, Bill S-222: From Direction and Control to Reasonable Steps<\/a> (10 February 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is S-222 now? And what’s next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage in the Parliamentary Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Bill was introduced in the Senate in February 2021. It passed third (final) reading<\/a> at the Senate on June 17 without any amendments being made to the bill. The sponsoring Senator highlighted the bill\u2019s two objectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, it provides accountability; and second, it provides for empowering partnerships. It is not an \u2018either-or.\u2019 Accountability and empowerment, and accountability and partnerships, are not mutually exclusive concepts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On June 23, S-222 moved to the House of Commons for first reading<\/a>. Speaking to the bill, an MP explained that the bill would:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026fix a problem due to the archaic legislation in the Income Tax Act that restricts the ability of Canadian charities to do good work around the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The MP went on to describe how it will reduce \u201cbureaucracy and redundancy\u201d while at the same time providing \u201cgreater accountability\u201d and \u201cgiving charities in Canada the ability to do greater work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Petition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before the House adjourned for the summer<\/a> a petition was tabled<\/a> in the House of Commons calling on the government to take action by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Replacing the \u201coriginal regime and \u2018own activity\u2019 test in the ITA that requires registered charities to devote all of their resources to charitable activities carried on by themselves with a regime that permits registered charities to operate in furtherance of their charitable purpose; and<\/li>
  2. Replace current administration requirements around \u2018direction and control\u2019 with a requirement for registered charities to establish reasonable and practical parameters for ensuring resource accountability when working to achieve a charitable purpose through a third party that is not a qualified donee.\u201d<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The petition was by paper only and not posted for electronic signature. It may be that when the next session begins (bearing in mind the rampant election speculation!) a similar petition can be revived and tabled when the House comes to debate S-222.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What’s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It’s hard to say what’s next. If an election is called, S-222 may die on the order paper. That means another bill \u2013 identical or similar in substance \u2013 would have to be introduced after the opening of a newly elected Parliament<\/a>, meaning the process would start all over. If no election is called, the House can pick up where it left off and the process will resume. Only time will tell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the meantime, members interested in the topic can hop over to The Green where there’s a dedicated\u00a0space for discussion<\/a>\u00a0about direction and control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
