What will likely affect charities the most is the removal of the 80/20 disbursement quota and changes to the capital disbursement quota. In this podcast, Adam and Maggie discuss the implications of these changes and how your charity will be affected.

Difficulties with Canada's charity regulations

Late last year, the C.D. Howe Institute published a white paper written by Adam Aptowitzer where he argued that because the federal government does not have the necessary jurisdiction to regulate charities, it is forced to use the registration system, through the Canada Revenue Agency, to enforce regulations more generally. This podcast provides further clarification and discussion of Aptowitzer's paper, and is of vital interest to anyone working in the nonprofit sector.
