- Prologue
- The Rev. Michael Rolph introduced Mr. Ian Morrison, Chairman of the NVO - National Voluntary Organizations. The NVO coalition consists of approximately 130 groups.
- Mr. Morrison explained the Give and Take concept of taxation. The Income Tax Act, at present, is giving no incentive to give to charities, fewer people are giving more.
- The Give and Take concept proposed that in lieu of $100 allowed automatically, that receipts to charities be saved and 50% of the total amount could be deducted from the amount of Income Tax a person would have to pay.
- Graphs were shown to demonstrate the levels of income/person/giving ratio.
- Text of motion
- That the National Executive Council endorse the "Give and Take" proposal of the National Voluntary Organizations and that such endorsement be reported to the National Voluntary Organizations' Committee, to the Church, and to the Minister of Finance. CARRIED
