Ottawa says it plans to move forward on long-awaited tax code reform, framing the effort as a series of incremental changes rather than a single overhaul. In budget consultations, a senior figure associated with Prime Minister Mark Carney tells outlets that the government intends to tackle the issue “one bite at a time,” with measures affecting small businesses described as a high priority.
The reports focus on how the government is approaching reform and which areas it wants to address first. One outlet highlights the idea of relieving “small business pain” as an early step, while another emphasizes that small-business changes are central to the agenda for upcoming tax work. Both accounts describe the same general direction from the government, but provide limited details on the specific policy elements, timelines, or the scope of changes being considered.
No additional figures, draft legislation, or formal policy package are cited in the excerpts provided, so the emphasis remains on the government’s stated intention and priority-setting during consultation.
