New Canadian Budget Supports Online Charity Registration, Modernization of Lotteries - Press - AFP: New Canadian Budget Supports Online Charity Registration, Modernization of Lotteries

Budget 2014, introduced yesterday, includes a number of measures impacting Canada’s charities. It is worth noting that despite rhetoric to the contrary prior to the budget’s release, there were no specific measures targeting the political activities of Canadian charities.
