Revocation of Fondation AirMedic Registration

Summary#

This Canada Gazette item lists several administrative notices published on April 19, 2025. It includes a notice that the registration of FONDATION AIRMEDIC (business number 865700595RR0001) is to be revoked under the Income Tax Act, a Canadian International Trade Tribunal decision and a separate Tribunal inquiry about two federal procurements, and permission for two public servants to run in municipal elections.

What it does#

• Canada Revenue Agency gives notice of intention to revoke the registration of FONDATION AIRMEDIC (BN 865700595RR0001) for failing to meet parts of the Income Tax Act. The revocation is effective on the date the notice appears in the Canada Gazette (April 19, 2025).
• The Canadian International Trade Tribunal issued a determination (file PR-2024-056) that a procurement complaint by Primex Project Management Ltd. about solicitation WS4345162973 (for informatics professional services, run by Public Works and Government Services Canada on behalf of the Department of National Defence) is not valid.
• The Canadian International Trade Tribunal decided to open an inquiry (file PR-2024-084) into a complaint by Micro Logic Sainte-Foy Ltée about solicitation CS-IAAS-2024 (cloud infrastructure and platform services for Shared Services Canada).
• The Public Service Commission granted permission for Kate Doyle (Women and Gender Equality Canada) to run for Councillor in the City of Moncton in the election on May 12, 2025. It also recorded a previously granted permission for Olive Kamanyana (Natural Resources Canada) to run in a City of Gatineau by-election held on June 9, 2024.

Who's affected#

• Donors, staff, and clients or beneficiaries of FONDATION AIRMEDIC may be affected if the charity registration is revoked.
• Primex Project Management Ltd. and the bidders on solicitation WS4345162973, plus the contracting departments (PWGSC and the Department of National Defence), are involved in the Tribunal decision.
• Micro Logic Sainte-Foy Ltée, other companies that bid on CS-IAAS-2024, and Shared Services Canada are involved in the Tribunal inquiry.
• Kate Doyle and voters in the City of Moncton, and Olive Kamanyana and voters in the City of Gatineau, are affected by the Public Service Commission permissions.
• Where the Gazette notice does not name the contract winners or all bidders, it is unclear who else might be affected.

Why it matters#

• If a charity’s registration is revoked, donors can lose the ability to claim tax receipts and the charity may lose tax-exempt status. That can affect services the charity provides.
• Tribunal outcomes and inquiries affect how federal contracts are awarded and whether procurement practices are found fair. That matters to companies that bid on government work and to government programs relying on those contracts.
• Permissions from the Public Service Commission let public servants run in municipal elections while keeping federal rules about outside political activity clear. That matters to voters who want to know whether candidates are also federal employees.
