There have been a number of thoughtful contributions to Canada's tax reform discussion in recent days, including calls for Canada to undertake a broader review of its tax system. It's an important conversation to have. But tax reform cannot simply be a discussion about tax rates. Or reduced to business competitiveness and attracting capital, important as those issues are. It also needs to be a discussion about outcomes. • What kind of communities do we want to live in? • What role do we expect government to play? • How do we build trust that public dollars are being spent effectively? • How do we remain competitive without entering a race to the bottom?

And how it needs to be connected to a broader conversation about trust, democracy, and the things our taxes pay for. As 𝐒𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐫 put it: “You got to ask yourself the more fundamental question of what kind of society do you want?” 📺 For the full conversation go to: youtu.be/2z0knFQUnaM
