United Nations Blasts Canada... and Canada Revenue Agency : CRA SOTW
The United Nations human rights committee recently issued a report on Thursday blasting Canada on a number of matters including:
- government inaction on missing and murdered aboriginal women
- the new Bill C-51 anti-terrorism law
- abuses by Canadian companies operating in foreign countries,
- general violence against women,
- excessive use of police force,
- and intimidation of charities by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
"Human rights in Canada are under assault, and the UN human rights committee noted that today," said Harriett MacLachlan, president of the Ottawa-based charitable group, Canada Without Poverty.
In respect of the CRA the UN Human Rights Committee said:
It also mentioned charities, which are increasingly becoming targets of the Canada Revenue Agency and their charitable status investigated if the government deems the charity too political.
The Canada Without Poverty group has been subject to an ongoing audit of its activities for three years.
The UN report said such audits have created a "level of apprehension within a broad sector of civil society."
McLachlan said the report proves the Canadian government is guilty of "mistreatment" of charities.
"These audits have resulted in mounting fear of losing charitable status and therefore necessary funding sources across the entire charitable sector," she said.
