CRA’s audit of the Muslim Association of Canada and the organization’s application in the Ontario Superior Court

Here is some coverage of MAC. The first article talks about MAC’s CRA audit and application in Ontario Superior Court. The second article claims that MAC promotes hatred and the Liberal government should stop funding them. Two vastly very different perspectives.

 

Canada’s largest grassroots Muslim organization is asking a court to halt a federal audit of its activities as a registered charity, alleging the probe is discriminatory and violates its charter rights.

Terry Glavin: The Liberals are funding hate. How else to describe the speakers at this Toronto convention?

 

Here is about 20 years of T3010 information on the Muslim Association of Canada at the CharityData.ca website of our law firm.

Here is the Federal corporate profile report for the Muslim Association of Canada.

Note that they are a soliciting corporation. Soliciting corporations under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act (“CNCA”) are required to file their financial statements every year with Corporations Canada and like many other Federal non-profit corporations under the CNCA, they have failed to file their financial statements with Corporations Canada.
Anyone can request copies of corporate documents for free from Corporations Canada. You find the Federal non-profit and hit the “Order copies of corporate documents” link. It is free and quick. Here are some of the documents from Corporations Canada.
[Update – September 9, 2022 – just received further documents from CRA including financial statements, charity application and notification of registration:
[Update – On December 9, 2022, there was a decision by the Ontario Superior Court dealing with a motion by MAC for an interlocutory injunction against CRA, potentially taking away their charitable status.  The court declined to provide such an injunction.   The Court noted:
Conclusion: Is it just and equitable to grant or deny the injunction?
[59] In examining all three of the elements of the RJR test, in a holistic manner as mandated by the Supreme Court of Canada in Google, it is just and equitable that the motion for injunctive relief be dismissed at this stage. The interlocutory injunctive relief sought is premature and also does not reach the high bar required for a quia timet injunction.
[60] The motion is therefore dismissed.
[61] However, in the event that CRA issues a final decision in the interim in which it recommends sanctions against MAC based on its finding of serious violations as set out in its AFL, then MAC is at liberty to bring a further motion for interlocutory and/or permanent injunctive relief before this Court, on fresh evidence.]
