Changes in the Not-for-Profit/Charitable World

Federal

We previously reported on the new Canada Not-For-Profit Corporations Act (CMPCA). This is an update with respect to this new act, which received Royal Assent on June 23, 2009 but is not yet proclaimed in force. On October 1, 2010, Corporations Canada published a notice advising that the user fees proposed under the new CMPCA and associated service standards were tabled on the House of Commons on September 20, 2010 and in the Senate on September 27, 2010. This is the final step for the fee approval process under the User Fees Act. Prior to the tabling of the fees, public consultations on the fees and service standards were held and the required official notice published in the Canada Gazette. Once the fee approval process is complete, the next step is the formal approval of the regulations. The proposed regulations under the CMPCA included the pre-publication of the proposed regulations for public consultation. The regulations are available on Industry
