Last November, the Ombudsperson released a statement about challenges accessing taxpayer information, and that information gaps made it hard to compare tax file information with stakeholder concerns. Various \u00a0ITA rules prohibited the CRA from disclosing certain file information. The NSIRA is not subject to those constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formally, the NSIRA review will focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026the RAD program\u2019s national security activities and decision-making relating to registered Canadian charities, to assess their reasonableness, necessity, and compliance with the law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Responses to the Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minister of Finance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/news\/2023\/03\/statement-by-the-honourable-diane-lebouthillier-minister-of-national-revenue-in-response-to-the-national-security-and-intelligence-review-agency-re.html\">welcomes the review<\/a> and \u201cview[s] it as an important next step that will complement the forthcoming publication of the Taxpayers\u2019 Ombudsperson\u2019s review.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Commissioner of the CRA, Bob Hamilton, also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/news\/2023\/03\/cra-commissioner-bob-hamiltons-response-to-the-national-security-and-intelligence-review-agency-nsira.html\">responded to welcome the upcoming review<\/a>, pledging the agency\u2019s full cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Does the NSIRA Review Matter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As regular readers know, we have been actively monitoring concerns about charitable status becoming politicized. Where there are questions about fairness in the audit selection process, we have similar concerns: audits should also not become politicized. Every aspect of government interaction a charity can experience \u2013 registration, education letters, audit selection, revocation, general inquiries \u2013 should be free from political interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with the rest of the charitable sector, we will await the NSIRA review results.
