Submission to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance

In response to the request from the Clerk of the Standing Committee on Finance (FINA), that the Canadian LabourWatch Association appear on November 7, 2012, we created a very comprehensive Submission which was the foundation for our testimony.

We have reviewed a number of other Submissions to FINA, as well as documents published by a wide range of labour and other organizations about Bill C-377. In addition to attending the October 25, 2012 FINA session, the unofficial transcript of that session has also been closely reviewed.

Our Submission addresses a number of topics. In particular, we focused on identifying incorrect statements, whether oral or written, made by prominent labour leaders and other critics of C-377. We then provided FINA, and the public record, with fact based information and analysis. On some topics, we provide a broader analysis than others have.

The most important topic we address relates to the range of assertions about Bill C-377 that suggest it has no income tax purpose. We respectfully disagree.

Read the entire LabourWatch submission to FINA.

Disclosure laws regulate the quality and quantity of financial information that affected organizations must make public. Public disclosure of this information allows interested parties to gauge the financial health and performance of organizations. In addition, the accordant transparency that comes from disclosure serves to improve the governance of organizations.

Union transparency is important for two additional reasons. First, transparency enables workers to make more informed decisions about their preference for collective representation.
