Does your charity work with other organizations worldwide? Or with non-charities here in Canada? If yes, you know about direction and control and the challenges it creates. If you\u2019re concerned about those challenges and want to see some change, we have a direction and control advocacy opportunity to share with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But first, some context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proposals for Change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are currently two proposals for change:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Bill S-216, Effective and Accountable Charities Act<\/em><\/a> \u2013 remove \u201cown activities\u201d from the Income Tax Act<\/em> and require charities to take reasonable steps to ensure resources are used for only charitable activities<\/li>
  2. Bill C-19, Budget Implementation Act, 2022 No. 1<\/em><\/a>(BIA) \u2013 keep \u201cown activities,\u201d keep direction and control, and add a new category of \u201cqualifying disbursements\u201d that allows charities to transfer resources to non-qualified donees (basically non-charities), subject to mandatory conditions<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ve talked more about how they are different in our blog Budget Implementation Act, Bill S-216 and Direction and Control<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Many in the charitable sector, CCCC included<\/a>, are concerned that the BIA will create confusion and could increase<\/em> the burden on charities; we support the aim of Bill S-216 and are concerned that the BIA will not effectively accomplish those goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you have similar concerns, we want to share an advocacy opportunity through Cooperation Canada<\/a>. They have drafted an open letter<\/a> on the BIA and are inviting stakeholders to sign on<\/a>. It\u2019s a quick turnaround time \u2013 you\u2019ll need to sign by Friday, May 27<\/strong>. Yes, that\u2019s tomorrow!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The letter expresses concern that, among other things, the BIA reinforces a paternalist approach to charitable activities, takes a prescriptive approach, creates confusion, and limits opportunities for collaboration. It proposes several amendments to the BIA which you should review, but here is a summary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Amend the definition of \u201cqualifying disbursement\u201d to be more like the \u201creasonable steps\u201d proposed in Bill S-216<\/li>
    2. Amend language related to directed giving (\u201cexpressly or implicitly conditional\u201d gifts)<\/li>
    3. Delete proposed Regulation 3703 entirely \u2013 this regulation lists the mandatory conditions for \u201cqualifying disbursements\u201d<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      The BIA proposes significant changes for charities! Make sure you know what they are, and if they raise concerns for you, now is the time to advocate for change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
