Notes
This article examines changes in Canada’s charity law between 2001 and 2009, the dates of two conferences on Commonwealth charity law held by the Australian Centre for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies in Brisbane, Australia. It suggests that attempts to change charity law in Canada have constituted tinkering, rather than involve any substantive change. It hypothesizes that one of the reasons for the lack of progress has been the failure of the voluntary sector to attract public attention and, therefore, public support for legislative change.
