Great news!
Published on February 7, 2017
We have great news! We have just heard from the Canadian Chiropractic Association that there will be no Health Benefit Tax! Thank you to everyone who took the time and effort to voice their concern and compassion. Here is a copy of the letter we received from the CCA.

| We are pleased to share great news that yesterday Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed that the federal government will not be moving forward with any plans to tax employer health benefits. Taxing these benefits was predicted to lead to many employers cancelling their plans, and a sharp decline in the healthcare that is funded by these benefits.The donttaxmyhealthbenefits.ca campaign developed by the CCA and 8 other health professions was a tremendous success and the federal government took notice of the campaign’s momentum. Over 80,000 Canadians engaged in the campaign to tell their Members of Parliament that they strongly value the healthcare that is paid for through employer health benefits. We would like to thank the G8+ group of healthcare professionals for partnering and delivering on this initiative.
We owe a big thanks to you, our members. This intensive advocacy work was only possible because of your support and engagement with your patients. We would also like to thank the provincial chiropractic associations for joining in our messaging and spreading the word about this campaign. |
