Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Wed. December 18th, 2024

Our Question of the Day: "How do you feel about automatic tax filing?" The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is against it, as are many of the listeners. We also heard from Canadians for Tax Fairness' executive director Katrina Miller who believes it would be a great idea, citing that somewhere between 7 to 12 percent of Canadians don't file, and thus miss out on billions of dollars in benefits. Later, the Richmond Co-operative Nursery School is about to lose its provincial funding because it never signed up for the national $10 a day childcare program. Kristy speaks with the president of the nursery school.

Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. December 18th, 2024

Thoughts on automatic tax filing? Well, it looks like the federal government is moving towards making it more available. Some like it, some hate it. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is in the latter camp. We hear from their federal director on why they're against it. Later, CIHI (Canadian Institute for Health Information) came out with a report showing a decline in family doctor growth rates in Canada. The director of Health Workforce Information at the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) drops by to dissect the numbers.
