Peter Braid on October 23, 2013 withdrew his bill entitled “An Act respecting a National Charities Week and to amend the Income Tax Act (charitable and other gifts)”.

- Charity Village article “Give now or give later?” on Peter Braid’s private members bill
- AFP Comments on Private Members Bill C-485 from Peter Braid
