Regina – Finance Minister Ralph Goodale today announced two significant new tax incentives to encourage charitable giving, including the elimination of capital gains tax on charitable gifts of ecologically sensitive land.

“The Liberal government fully recognizes the important role the charitable sector plays in meeting the needs of Canadians. We also recognize the importance of ensuring that charities are able to obtain the funds they require to finance their activities,” said the Finance Minister. “Today’s measures support charities in their efforts by providing additional incentives to encourage charitable donations.”"
