Charles explains why "the consultations" were never really one event but two: a public-facing summer tour that gathered sentiment from everyday Canadians, and a quieter House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance process where groups like CPA Ontario, CALU, and Certified Professional Bookkeepers of Canada filed detailed technical submissions months earlier. He digs into the numbers behind CPA Ontario's own member survey, where a majority of Ontario CPAs called the current tax system overly complex, and explains what that means heading into a budget shaped by an active trade dispute.
Listeners will also hear Charles's take on the capital gains inclusion rate reversal from 2024 and 2025, and why he tells his own clients to plan around the tax rules that exist today, not the ones making headlines.
A practical, grounded conversation for anyone trying to make sense of Budget 2026 before it's tabled this fall.
