The link to the full report is http://www.majorcomm.ca/en/reports/finalreport/. The Report's Volume 5 on Terrorist Financing will be of particular interest to charities. Several of the recommendations contained in Volume 5 are encouraging for charities, specifically the following: "It is essential that measures to defeat the use of charities or NPOs for TF [terrorist financing] not unnecessarily impede the valuable activities of legitimate organizations. Any new guidelines or best practices that the CRA may contemplate to help it address TF in the charitable sector should be developed in close cooperation with the charitable sector. The work of honest charities should not be hindered because of unrealistic guidelines or best practices."
