Taxation & Government
The Issue
The SCC recommends the Federal and Provincial Governments undertake a comprehensive review of Canada’s and Saskatchewan’s tax systems. A strong commitment from political leaders at both the provincial and federal level is necessary to ensure that tax systems support business growth, and that businesses are not negatively impacted in their ability to attract and retain highly-skilled labour and make the kinds of capital investments necessary to drive innovation.
