A Step in the Right Direction provides a summary of the checklist and identifies a number of limitations with this new CRA tool.

This issue of In Brief looks at Bill 1: The Lobbyist Act and the Federal Accountability Act and what their affect on the Canadian and Albertan voluntary sectors will be if they are passed into law in their current form (as of the end of July 2007).

This February 2007 report from the Canadian Senate states that there have been no denials or revocations of charitable status under the Charities Registration (Security Information) Act, which is Part VI of the Anti-terrorism Act.

The report does not recommend any amendments to the Act, however, it does recommend that in the event that a charity’s status is denied or revoked under these Anti-terrorism laws, a special advocate should be able to participate in the proceedings to help ensure that procedural fairness is observed.

Article Introduction:
