Pro-Life Movement Under Assault
As part of their 2021 Liberal election platform, Forward. For Everyone. (page 4), Canada’s Liberal Party included a “promise” to:
No
longer provide charity status to anti-abortion organizations (for
example, Crisis Pregnancy Centres) that provide dishonest counselling to
women about their rights and about the options available to them at all
stages of the pregnancy.
The
platform did not elaborate as to what constitutes “dishonest
counselling”, anymore than it did in identifying what constitutes
“anti-abortion organizations”, women’s “rights” or “options available”.
Could this policy include religious groups such as the Roman Catholic
Church or Evangelical Churches which are also “anti-abortion”? If the
Liberal party can pass legislation prohibiting religious leaders and
religious based counsellors from counselling on sexual orientation and
transgenderism (conversion therapy), why not also on abortion?
According to documents obtained under the Access to Information Act,
dated September 10, 2021 a “compliance consideration” was made to the
Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requesting a review of the charitable status
of pro-life groups. The CRA is governed by both legislation (Income Tax Act)
and the common law (in which “charity” is defined) with respect to
charitable activity. The CRA correctly pointed out to the Liberals that
it audits charities for fraud, i.e. determines whether they are acting
outside their mandates, and that to date, have found no evidence of
misbehaviour that would cause a pro-life pregnancy support centre to
lose its charitable status. The CRA further advised the government that
it did not have the authority to look to the philosophy behind the
organizations it was auditing.
Further documents obtained under the Access to Information Act
indicate that in November 2021 secret meetings had been held in the
Departments of Health and Finance, with individuals holding “secret
clearances only” status to determine how the Liberal’s platform on
abortion would be implemented.
How the Removal of Tax-exempt Status Affects Charities
Unless
one is an accountant or lawyer practicing in the area of charity law,
most people would think that the loss of “charitable status” simply
means that the organization can no longer give receipts to donors for
tax purposes. That is only one consequence, and by no means the
least. Revocation of charitable status means that the organization must
be wound-up (i.e. closed down) so that its legal existence is ended. It
means its property must be transferred to another registered charity, or
the agency must pay a Revocation Tax. The Revocation Tax rate is equal
to 100% of the value of all remaining assets once outstanding debts
have been paid. Clearly, revocation of charitable status is about more
than just losing the ability to issue tax receipts for income tax
purposes. The effects of revocation would in most cases lead to the
closure of pregnancy support centres and deprive women and their unborn
child a viable alternative to abortion. It would force current centres
to rebuild/reopen as non-profits (but without any of the tax breaks give
to a registered charity) in order to carry on their valuable and
lifesaving work. All this, of course, will impose addition financial
burdens as these groups re-organize and rebuild.
Minister of Finance, Chrystia Freeland
In
the aftermath of the Trudeau Liberals’ charity revocation plans, it is
important to note that petitions have been circulated against it. In
response to one such petition, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of
Finance, Chrystia Freeland, also a board member of the controversial
World Economic Forum (WEF) stated:
“Registered
charities that provide reproductive health services are required to
provide ACCURATE, JUDGEMENT FREE and EVIDENCE-BASED information to women
with respect to their rights and options at all stages of their
pregnancy.” [Capitalization in the original.] (https://petitions.ourcommons. ca/en/Petition/Details? Petition=441-00106 )
Freeland’s
response is an example of the big lie and deliberate
misdirection. Women entering abortion clinics are not given “judgement
free” advice or information, as they are encouraged to have the
abortion. There is no such thing as “judgement free” counselling from
such agencies. Their support is predetermined by the fact that they are
in the business of providing abortion for their own profit. Freeland is
trying to claim a false moral high ground on this matter.
The Reality of the Liberal Abortion Platform
The
reality is that Trudeau and his Liberal Party are trying to restrict
and destroy access to information about alternatives to abortion
provided by the pro-life movement and pregnancy support centres by
openly attempting to eliminate their charitable status. It is the
pro-life movement and pregnancy support centres however, which provide
accurate, evidence-based information. They are the only ones speaking
the truth and providing compassionate assistance.
The 2022 Fall Budget
The
Fall budget is looming once Parliament reconvenes in September. By
then, the Liberals will have had a year to plan their amendments to the Income Tax Act to give effect to their unconstitutional, ideological attack on women and unborn children.
It
seems that the Liberal party is no longer recognizable as a “liberal”
party. It has degenerated into a socialist woke collective. The Liberals
have corrupted our country.
What Must Be Done
· It
is critical that you immediately contact your Member of Parliament
(regardless of party) and the Senators about this despicable attempt by
the Trudeau government to silence the pro-life voice in Canada.
· It
is urgent that this “Alert” be sent to your acquaintances – family,
friends and neighbours – who should be made aware of this incomparable
danger to the pro-life movement.
· Please
also write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper about this
matter. It will widen the circle of knowledge about this disgraceful
policy.
