Honoured to be part of Canada’s official delegation for today’s historic Inaugural Mass of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV at Saint Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican.
This morning’s Mass — attended by many world leaders — was a deeply spiritual and unifying moment.

Although Budget 2025 did not extend the tax incentive for Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs), I remain encouraged by the strong case for moving forward on this key issue.
There is still time to reconsider this decision and to extend the current capital gains tax exemption beyond December 31, 2026.1/9

What do SMEs identify as their top priority to invest, scale, and compete globally? I put that question to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business during our new study on access to credit and capital markets. Their answer won’t surprise anyone. 🍁
