Canada 2020 will be hosting a Policy Lab on Tax Competitiveness on Tuesday, June 19th, 2018 in the Canada 2020 Studio Space in Ottawa.

On June 19th, Canada 2020 is convening a 3/4-day session on Tax Competitiveness. In an interview with Bloomberg, Finance Minister Bill Morneau stated, “Job 1 on the center of my desk for the next six months is going to be about competitiveness in Canada… we have to do our homework to get to a conclusion.”
In order to help the Finance Minister with his homework, Canada 2020 is holding a Policy Lab on Tax Competitiveness where we will work
through the following questions:

How much of an impact will the U.S. tax changes have on both U.S. and Canadian competitiveness?

What can Canada do to address competitiveness concerns, without simply rewarding companies for doing what they would have done anyway?

Does the federal government need to make changes to the personal income tax system to prevent losing highly qualified talent to the United States?

Beyond simply altering headline rates, what changes to the tax code can the federal government make to enhance Canadian competitiveness? What changes would provide the best bang-for-the-buck?
