Abstract
The article focuses on the potential impact of the plan of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's administration to boost charitable tax credits in Canada. It notes that such tax credit system is unfair to the low-income workers and undermines the role of the non-profit sector as the means of connection of social capital. It recommends that the system must be canceled by the government since it makes questionable claims of its ability to raise private giving.
