Our pre-budget submission to Finance Canada in advance of Budget 2025 recommends that the federal government:

  • Promptly begin its promised review of the corporate tax system, including a focus on small business taxation.
  • Promptly update RRSP and RRIF rules to better support the financial needs of those saving for retirement and retirees.
  • Provide a temporary 35 percent refundable tax credit relating to the cost of dental care programs for employees of small businesses to be reviewed for effectiveness after three years.
  • Develop pharmacare using the same general approach as the federal dental plan: supporting those without prescription drug coverage while leaving workplace benefit plans intact.
