The Board told these men that the intention of the government had never been to prevent the support of missionaries serving abroad, and outlined the procedure needed to obtain permits for the export of funds. As a result of this meeting a committee was formed to act on behalf of the assemblies to apply for permits, and to forward the funds to the missionaries. A side benefit was a reduced cost in transmitting funds to the missionaries since the contributions from a number of sources were now being transmitted in one sum to each of the missionaries involved. This reduced such things as bank service charges and handling costs. When the war ended it was felt that Missionary Service Committee should continue providing this service for the missionaries and for those who support them, whether assemblies or individuals.
All donations are therefore eligible for an income tax receipt.
More recently the name of the committee was legally changed to MSC Canada .
