Federal Budget and Defining Charitable and Political Activity |

The Federal Budget, released March 29, contains many initiatives. One which does not seem to have received much - if any - media attention is a commitment to introduce measures "to ensure that charities devote their resources primarily to charitable, rather than political, activities, and to enhance public transparency and accountability in this area." As is always the case, the devil is in the details, but this could have significant implications for advocacy depending on how "political" is defined. We will monitor this and keep you informed.
For more information on charitable status and advocacy, check out the presentation by Terrance Carter at our June 28, 2011 Learning Session on Advocacy: Advocacy/Political Activity and the Canada Revenue Agency.

The Report of the Commission on the Reform of Ontario’s Public Services (“The Drummond Report”) was released on February 16, 2012. For a variety of resources, go to the section of the website of the Ontario Nonprofit Network (ONN) devoted to the Drummond Report. In particular, you may be interested in the brief sector-based analysis of Drummond’s report that provides a high-level assessment against four key principles that ONN used in making its initial recommendations to the Commission.
