It has been reported that the Canadian Government has made a decision to deregister our organization as a charity. This has caused a great uproar among our supporters who believe in our cause and the contribution we make to the people of Israel. Articles appeared in local, national, and international newspapers. As a result, many organizations around the world were mobilized. A petition to save our organization has obtained over 43 000 signatures and the momentum is still increasing.
However,I am pleased to announce new developments which have occurred.CMDA has entered into an agreement with
Charities Directorate which will enable our cause to continue uninterrupted. We are delighted that we will continue to be able to solicit the support of the Canadian community for our fund raising activities. Tax deductible receipts will be issued as usual.
On behalf of CMDA, I would like to thank all those who expressed their concern for the status of our organization.
Thank You,
Joseph Bitton
National President, CMDA
