This year鈥檚 focus on building inclusive retirement systems for gig workers and those facing income uncertainty sparked innovative solutions from participants. A standout addition was the inaugural Women in Buy-Side Panel, addressing gender disparities in finance.</p> Wed, 18 Dec 2024 18:43:26 +0000 admin 605235 at /bensadoun-school /bensadoun-school/channels/news/welcome-tax-helps-quebec-cities-generate-their-own-revenue-362212 <p>In 2022, Quebec鈥檚 so-called 鈥榳elcome tax鈥� generated more than $1.4 billion for municipalities, with Montreal alone pulling in more than $410 million. Though it sounds like a penalty for new arrivals, its name is actually derived from former Quebec cabinet member Jean Bienvenue, who tabled the bill proposing the tax; Bienvenue鈥檚 surname translates into English as 鈥榳elcome鈥�. These municipal-level real estate transfer taxes can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, and property buyers must pay within 30 days of closing their purchase.<br /> <br /></p> Wed, 18 Dec 2024 18:48:12 +0000 admin 605234 at /bensadoun-school /bensadoun-school/channels/news/us-expansion-plans-head-south-quebecs-autobus-lion-362213 <p>In 2023, the Quebec electric vehicle maker Autobus Lion opened a $150 million truck manufacturing facility in Illinois, but its expansion into the United States has not gone according to plan. Much of its 900,000 square foot facility sits empty, and the company is sub-leasing the space. Now, the company is on the brink of bankruptcy and working with investors to determine if it can be salvaged.</p> Wed, 18 Dec 2024 18:52:25 +0000 admin 605233 at /bensadoun-school /bensadoun-school/channels/news/making-strategic-assets-available-pension-funds-would-encourage-more-domestic-investment-362215 <p>Canadian pension funds have a mandate to deliver steady pension payments to millions of plan members, writes Professor <a href="/desautels/sebastien-betermier"><strong>Sebastien Betermier</strong></a> in Benefits Canada. But that鈥檚 easier said than done, and the most cost-efficient way to deliver is by investing in a globally diversified portfolio tilted toward strategic assets.

While all of Canada鈥檚 Big Six banks now include some crypto ETFs in their portfolios, these investments represent only a small fraction of their holdings. A major advantage of ETFs is their ability to offer protection from market volatility. However, given the speculative nature of crypto means it can still be extremely volatile, even within an ETF structure.</p> Wed, 11 Dec 2024 19:12:36 +0000 admin 605222 at /bensadoun-school /bensadoun-school/channels/news/donald-trumps-counterparts-learned-best-practices-during-his-first-term-362037 <p>Donald Trump has imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian steel before and also lifted them. And then imposed them again. The on-again, off-again tariff truce cycle has played out in multiple industries, and Canada can expect more incendiary rhetoric on trade in a second Trump term, writes Professor <a href="/desautels/vivek-astvansh"><strong>Vivek Astvansh</strong></a> in The Conversation Canada. So how should Canada engage with Trump鈥檚 theatrical approach to politics? 鈥淚deally, leaders talk to each other and resolve disagreements,鈥� says Astvansh.</p> Wed, 11 Dec 2024 18:55:39 +0000 admin 605220 at /bensadoun-school /bensadoun-school/channels/news/many-restaurant-diners-gst-holiday-wont-amount-much-362038 <p>With inflation pinching household budgets, the Government of Canada has introduced a temporary two-month GST holiday on select goods and services..
