Précis: Public Television Association of Quebec (“PTAQ”) appealed from the Minister’s revocation of its charitable status. The revocation was based on the Minister’s conclusion that PTAQ was not using all of its assets in its own charitable activities. Essentially the Minister argued that PTAQ was a creature of Vermont Public Television (“VPT”). In the alternative the Minister alleged that PTAQ was making gifts to VPT which was not a “qualified done” for the purposes of the Income Tax Act.
