Cathy Hawara, Acting Director General of the Charities Directorate, delivered a presentation on April 30, 2010 and during that presentation she provided some interesting statistics on registered charities. I always knew that the Federal and Provincial governments are the largest source of revenue for the sector but the thing that jumped out at me as staggering was that “the proportion of revenue coming from government has increased from 54% to 67% of the sector’s total between 2000 and 2008.”:

Here is the “Official Notice of Fee Proposal For Services under the Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act”. This notice which is required under the User Fee Act gives the public and idea of what fees are proposed for the CNCA - these may or may not be the final . Nothing looks too out of the ordinary.
