It’s encouraging to see so many individual submissions among those for organizations. Thanks for taking the time and thought to submit yours, bubblebustin!

I had a little help from my friends 😉 Thank you everyone.
While pursuing these trade negotiations in the future, the CBA encourages the federal government to consider including measures that would prevent the extraterritorial application of foreign laws to Canadian financial institutions and accountholders
I don’t know what the content of your submission was, but mine dealt with FATCA, and I can only assume that yours did too. That’s 5 and counting. With organizations such as those mentioned, I think that’s enough to get it on the committee’s agenda. I helps that John Weston said he would personally back mine up with a submission to Minister Flaherty in the fall.
I’ve been skimming quite a few submitted by individuals. If it wasn’t summer break when they had to be submitted, I’d swear that some of them were a high school social studies project in how incomplete or simple they are. Typical is ‘the government needs to tax less but should spend more on infrastructure and social programs’.
@bubblebustin,
“Government needs to tax less but should spend more on infrastructure and social programs” — the reason every high school student must have as a graduation requirement FINANCIAL LITERACY. The whole world is running up a very big bill on the “credit card”. We need to go back to the way my mom budgeted in handling money and raising a family (like handling money and raising a country) — the envelope method. My dad brought $XXX home; it was divided up, so much for each envelope — and when there was no more, there was no more until the next month. We didn’t have much money and my mom did stash some away in another envelope, labelled “Emergency Fund”.
Mines there. Sorry, it’s not under Bubblebustin.
Thanks for posting

At least two allude or make reference to FATCA:

*Is this what you were referring too:

*There is another one here

Yes, re CBA submission.
