And that the Committee would make the recommendations without consulting religious charities and without giving any rationale or reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the political instability in our current federal government, it is uncertain whether any legislation will move forward, let alone a 2025 budget bill. Even so, it is essential to speak out about these recommendations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost 40% of Canada&#8217;s registered charities advance religion. Religious congregations have a net-positive socio-economic contribution of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardus.ca\/research\/spirited-citizenship\/reports\/why-religious-tax-exemptions-benefit-all-canadians\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$16.5 billion<\/a>. Religion creates tangible community benefits for the public at large, develops and activates prosocial attitudes and behaviours (see &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/sencanada.ca\/content\/sen\/committee\/421\/CSSB\/Briefs\/CanadianCouncilofChristian_e.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Impact of the &#8216;Advancing Religion&#8217; Charitable Sub-Sector in Canada<\/a>&#8220;) . Religious communities are an essential part of a truly diverse, multicultural, and pluralistic society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We highlight these attributes of religious charities and note key concerns with the Recommendations in our letter, below. We will keep advocating for our sector and representing faith-based charities.
