I have been asked to testify before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance which is studying various issues relating to the charity sector including tax incentives for charitable donations, charities and political activities, and cross border philanthropy. My comments will probably focus on the importance of transparency in the charitable and non-profit sector.

• Mr. Owen Charters, CanadaHelps
