Charity Revocations and Trade Tribunal Notices

Summary#

The Canada Gazette published notices from the Canada Revenue Agency proposing to revoke the registrations of two charities: THE CANADIAN ZIONIST CULTURAL ASSOCIATION (BN 108075748RR0001) in North York, ON, and CANADA CHARITY PARTNERS (BN 818335390RR0001) in Côte‑Saint‑Luc, QC. The same issue also carries several items from the Canadian International Trade Tribunal about a procurement complaint, a procurement inquiry, and anti‑dumping findings on cast iron soil pipe from the People’s Republic of China.

What it does#

• Canada Revenue Agency published notices proposing to revoke the registration of:
  • THE CANADIAN ZIONIST CULTURAL ASSOCIATION (BN 108075748RR0001) — the notice says the charity failed to meet parts of the Income Tax Act. The notice states the revocation is effective on publication (February 21, 2026).
  • CANADA CHARITY PARTNERS (BN 818335390RR0001) — likewise cited for not meeting parts of the Income Tax Act, with revocation effective on publication (February 21, 2026).
• Canadian International Trade Tribunal items in this Gazette:
  • File PR-2025-049 — the Tribunal found the complaint by Rochester Midland Canada Corporation partly valid about a Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) procurement for water treatment services (February 11, 2026).
  • File PR-2025-067 — the Tribunal issued a revised notice of inquiry after a complaint from Nadine International Inc. about possible impermissible sole‑source contracting related to a capital asset management software contract; the decision to hold an inquiry was made on January 14, 2026.
  • Inquiry NQ-2025-006 — the Tribunal found that certain cast iron soil pipe from the People’s Republic of China was dumped and subsidized and that this caused injury to the domestic industry under the Special Import Measures Act; the finding is dated February 6, 2026.

Who's affected#

• The two charities named: THE CANADIAN ZIONIST CULTURAL ASSOCIATION and CANADA CHARITY PARTNERS, their staff, volunteers, donors and anyone receiving services from them.
• Donors who gave tax‑receipt dependent gifts to those charities.
• Rochester Midland Canada Corporation, other bidders and suppliers for water treatment services, and PWGSC (and anyone relying on that procurement).
• Nadine International Inc., potential suppliers of capital asset management software, and Public Works and Government Services Canada / Department of National Defence if contracts are involved.
• Domestic manufacturers, importers, distributors, and buyers of cast iron soil pipe, and downstream users in construction and plumbing, because anti‑dumping findings can change trade rules and costs.

Why it matters#

• For the charities: losing registered charity status can affect their ability to issue tax receipts, receive certain gifts, and access donors who expect tax benefits. The Gazette notice says the revocation is effective on publication, which could have immediate administrative and tax consequences.
• For procurement: Tribunal findings or inquiries can lead to contract reviews, re‑evaluations, or remedies. That can delay projects or change which company supplies services or software.
• For trade and construction sectors: the Tribunal’s anti‑dumping finding may lead to import duties or other measures under the Special Import Measures Act to protect Canadian producers. That can raise costs for importers and for buyers of these pipe products.
• The Gazette text reports the decisions and notices; it does not list specific remedies, duty amounts, or next steps beyond what is quoted.
