I think another important part to highlight in this response (and I get this information from a Conservative Party Member and advocate as well as a Christian Charity source) is that "the report is being shared as a partisan report when the committee is Bi-Partisan and co-chaired by a Liberal and Conservative representative".  This is not a partisan issue per se and should not be construed as such.

"These reports are regularly produced by non-partisan committees to inform budget considerations. Good and bad ideas are discussed, and ideas are not meant to lead directly to policy change (although some eventually can). They are for information to guide decision-making. The committee in question's mandate is to hear from Canadians and report back to the government what they have heard". 

So I feel that the information and how it is being presented on social media is meant to bring fear against particular parties and is very misleading.  We should watch the "temperature" out there on these issues as it highlights important viewpoints out in the public sphere for us both as charities and religious institutions and we should advocate to the appropriate places for the good work we do and the positive we impact we have as institutions of faith...but this is not an issue to be attributed to a particular party for this election.

We want to hear from you.
