What guides our work

Protect lawful Canadian businesses. Make legitimate trade workable. Ensure taxes legally owed are paid.

These priorities connect small business competitiveness with consistent administration, clearer trade requirements and effective action against illicit commerce.

From a concern to a policy proposal

  1. Understand the experience

    Identify the process, the business role and the outcome, including what worked well.

  2. Verify the context

    Check the responsible authority, the applicable requirements and the limits of the evidence.

  3. Develop a practical improvement

    Define the proposed change and the business or administrative outcome it is intended to achieve.
