On March 28, 2023, the Honourable Chrystia Freeland tabled a new federal budget (the “2023 Budget”). The 2023 Budget sets out the Government of Canada’s spending priorities for the years ahead. These priorities include making life more affordable, investing in health care and dental care, advancing Indigenous reconciliation, and supercharging Canada’s clean technology sector in response to the US Inflation Reduction Act.
The 2023 Budget also follows through on some previously proposed tax measures, such as raising the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) rate[1] and imposing new penalties on transactions that are subject to the General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR).[2] These proposals, which our Tax Group discusses in a separate article, may be of relevance to high net worth donors planning to make large or complex tax-driven gifts.

People bring food to community picnics, but they don’t normally gather at truck stops in the dark, in the dead of winter, to feed total strangers. Photo: Sally
This food is important. It’s tangible, concrete evidence of tremendous grassroots support. While people bring food to community picnics, they don’t normally gather at truck stops in the dark, in the dead of winter, to feed total strangers.

Ted and Sally (not their real names) leave Saskatoon on Monday in a bobtail truck with two large Canadian flags streaming behind them. The side of their cab is decorated with red maple leaves and the words: “True North Strong & Free” – a phrase from Canada’s national anthem.
They head southeast toward the city of Regina. Normally a two-and-a-half-hour drive, this first leg of their journey is a piece of cake. The highway is called the Louis Riel Trail – named for a rebel hanged by the Canadian government in 1885. Viewed heroically by many then and now, considered a symbol of “strength and resistance,” 122 years after his death the next door province of Manitoba declared Louis Riel Day a paid holiday.
