The Advisory Committee on the Charitable Sector has released their second report. Here’s more from Imagine Canada:

The Advisory Committee on the Charitable Sector (ACCS), a consultative forum for meaningful dialogue between the charitable sector and the federal government, has released its second report. It includes 8 recommendations falling under three broad themes;

• Recommendations #1 – 4 address the fact that the charity regulatory system as a whole perpetuates a colonial approach and is difficult, time-consuming and cumbersome for Indigenous organizations to access
• Recommendations #5 – 7 respond to the fact that data on the charitable sector is key to evidence-based policy making but existing data is not effectively coordinated, analyzed or disseminated through the federal government. 
• Recommendation #8 addresses the fact that the current statutory categories of charitable organization, public foundation and private foundation are inconsistent with each other and cause confusion.
