GLGI donors fund Canada’s largest digital learning program
The Global Learning Giving Initiative (GLGI) is a unique opportunity for Canadians to help the underprivileged in our society and in Aboriginal communities learn valuable computer skills while reducing their taxes through charitable donations. GLGI is helping Canadians to not be left behind in the digital technology revolution.
GLGI’s newest computer educational initiative is the introduction of A Learning Community Network (ALCN), a subscription-based portal that provides subscribers unprecedented access to a whole new experience of online learning.
Status-August 2011
In our last report, we indicated that the final stage of discoveries (the delivery of answers to questions left unanswered at the oral examination) was to be completed at the end of this month but, it has now been extended to the end of August. GLGI has been assisting in the gathering of information and much of it has been forwarded to Baker & McKenzie, LLP (the lawyers acting for the Appellants). As far as we are aware, the CRA has not produced any of its required undertakings.
More importantly, the trial which was previously scheduled for this November will not be heard until June, 2012. Somewhat unusually, the trial will be split between Vancouver (where most of the Appellants reside) and Toronto (where most of the other witnesses reside).
The trial judge has been appointed. He is a relatively new judge however, he has some background in tax law and commercial law. He has also been on the board of a number of charities which may be beneficial.
