"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7072405\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I want to talk specifically about an area of the budget with respect to a private member's bill, Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11474534\" href=\"/bills/44-1/S-216/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (use of resources of a registered charity)\">S-216</a>. Bill S-216 is a piece of legislation that seeks to remove the archaic \u201cown activities test\u201d. The budget said that it wanted to have the spirit of Bill S-216 brought into effect.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7072406\" data-originallang=\"en\">First, will these changes be made in the Budget Implementation Act? Second, a big part of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11474534\" href=\"/bills/44-1/S-216/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (use of resources of a registered charity)\">S-216</a> is removing the \u201cown activities test\u201d. This is an archaic provision that forces Canadian charities to directly supervise the behaviour of other organizations they may choose to partner with. This is particularly challenging in areas that have had a long history of government misuse, such as indigenous charities and otherwise. Because of that, they often have mistrust. It is almost colonial or patriarchal in scope for Canadian charities to have to take over. To sum up quickly, will the changes appear in the BIA, and will the \u201cown activities test\u201d be removed?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7072405\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je tiens \u00e0 parler sp\u00e9cifiquement d'une partie du budget qui concerne un projet de loi d'initiative parlementaire, le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11474534\" href=\"/bills/44-1/S-216/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (use of resources of a registered charity)\">S-216</a>. Ce projet de loi vise \u00e0 \u00e9liminer le crit\u00e8re archa\u00efque des \u00ab propres activit\u00e9s \u00bb. Dans le budget, on dit qu'on veut mettre en vigueur l'esprit du projet de loi S\u2011216.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7072406\" data-originallang=\"en\">Premi\u00e8rement, la mise en vigueur de ces changements sera-elle pr\u00e9vue dans la Loi d'ex\u00e9cution du budget? Deuxi\u00e8mement, une grande partie du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11474534\" href=\"/bills/44-1/S-216/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (use of resources of a registered charity)\">S-216</a> porte sur l'\u00e9limination du crit\u00e8re des \u00ab propres activit\u00e9s \u00bb. Il s'agit d'une disposition archa\u00efque qui force les organismes canadiens de bienfaisance \u00e0 superviser directement le comportement d'autres organismes avec lesquels ils choisissent d'\u00e9tablir un partenariat. L\u00e0 o\u00f9 cela devient difficile, c'est dans les domaines qui ont une longue histoire d'abus de la part du gouvernement, comme dans le cas des organismes qui \u0153uvrent aupr\u00e8s des Autochtones. \u00c0 cause de cela, on constate une certaine m\u00e9fiance. Ce serait quasiment colonial ou patriarcal de demander aux organismes canadiens de bienfaisance de prendre la rel\u00e8ve. Pour r\u00e9sumer tr\u00e8s rapidement: les changements figureront-ils dans la Loi n<sup>o</sup> 1 d'ex\u00e9cution du budget, et le crit\u00e8re des \u00ab propres activit\u00e9s \u00bb sera-t-il \u00e9limin\u00e9?</p>"
