Registered Charity Board Diversity Data Collection Act
  • This bill, called the Registered Charity Board Diversity Data Collection Act, aims to amend the Income Tax Act in Canada. It requires registered charities to provide certain demographic data about their officers to the Minister of National Revenue. This information will be compiled for reporting purposes. The bill also specifies that the Minister can only use this information for preparing reports or procedures related to deregistration of a charity. The Minister is required to prepare and complete a report providing data on directors, trustees, officers, or like officials of registered charities and whether they are members of designated groups as defined in the Employment Equity Act. The report must be tabled in Parliament and published online. The provisions of this bill apply to taxation years that begin on or after the first March 31 after the bill receives royal assent. The bill will come into force on the second March 31 after it receives royal assent.
