This provision is not to be used as a mechanism to exempt the charity from meeting its disbursement quota, except in extraordinary circumstances. Accordingly, the information provided below forms an essential part of this application. Failure to provide complete information may delay the determination of the applicant's eligibility for a reduction under subsection 149.1(5). Note: The applicant must file the subsequent year's return before applying for the disbursement quota reduction.
