The federal government is extending the deadline for claiming charitable donations on tax returns to help charities affected by the four-week Canada Post strike.
Charities experienced significant declines in mail-in donations, crucial for them during the holidays, with The Salvation Army reporting a drop of over 50 percent.
Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc announced this extension after pressure from premiers, highlighting the urgent need to assist charities during a challenging season.
The government intends to introduce legislation to formalize these changes when Parliament resumes on January 27, amidst uncertainties regarding the Liberal minority government's stability.
