Antiquated Charity Laws Regarding Advocacy?October 6, 2002 - 11:00pm
The current law in Canada governing charities restricts them to using just 10 percent of resources for advocacy. The Institute for Media, Policy and Civil Society (IMPACS) project is working to change this "rule." "In dialogues IMPACS held with 11,000 charitable groups, (see Let Charities Speak: The Report of the Charities and Advocacy Dialogue (in PDF) - a report released March 2002) the majority agreed that the law is imprecise, outdated and needs to be clarified. Charities should be able to achieve their mission in the most effective way possible, and that means speaking out and participating in public policy debates on the issues they serve without feeling restricted or fearing punishment. At the heart of this matter is the quality of democratic and social policy debate in Canada." Il y a une loi en Canada qui empêche les organismes de bienfaisance de utiliser plus que 10 percent de leures résources envers l'action sociale. Le "Institute for Media, Policy and Civil Society" (IMPACS) est entrain de changer cette 'règle'. "Pendant les dialogues qu'IMPACS avait eu avec 11,000 organismes (voyez Les organismes prennent la parole: Résultats du dialogue sur l'action sociale des organismes de bienfaisance (en PDF) - un rapport de Mars 2002) la plupart des gens avaient partagé l'opinion que la loie avait été imprécis, trop agée et en besoin d'être clarifiée. Les organismes de bienfaisance devrait être capable de réaliser leurs buts de la façon la plus efficace, et cela voulait dire que les organismes de bienfaisance devraient participées en les discussions à propos de l'ordre public..."
