•Budget states that a charity will not be required to conduct background checks, but even if the charity wanted to the information required to independently assess whether an individual is ineligible may not be publicly or easily available:
–Possible to search for relevant criminal offences in Canada, but abroad?
–Many  relevant offences are not tracked in publicly available databases in Canada, and unlikely abroad
–Names of directors and like officials of revoked charities not maintained in a single publicly available database
–Not likely that an individual who otherwise controlled or managed the operation would be identified in publicly available documents – likely information solely in CRA’s control
