The watchdog was also asked to review the CRA’s efforts to make its employees aware of unconscious bias and how that could perpetuate discriminatory behaviour toward charities run by racialized communities
Mr. Boileau is aiming to submit a report to the Revenue Minister by March, 2023, but says it will be incomplete because the CRA is declining to hand over key documents.
Mr. Boileau said the fact that the government’s request came on the eve of the 2021 federal election campaign delayed the start of his review. He then spent several months hearing from Muslim organizations and attempted to negotiate access to the CRA files his office would need. Mr. Boileau said he knew at the beginning that the CRA could impose various privacy or national-security policies to refuse access, but thought the agency would find a way in light of the fact that the investigation was requested by the minister and the Prime Minister.
“I don’t have the tools to verify or to validate whether or not there’s truth to one party or the other,” he said. Neither Ms. Lebouthillier’s office nor the Prime Minister’s Office provided a comment in response to these concerns, leaving the CRA to respond on behalf of the government. “I do not believe there is structural bias targeting Muslim-led charities within the Canada Revenue Agency,” she said. “I would say, as part of the leadership team and leading a directorate of 300 employees, we take issues such as anti-racism very seriously.”
