The Real Economy Canada: Spring 2026

March 10, 2026

Economic volatility remains endemic, making it more important than ever for Canadian business leaders to focus on internal stability to enable effective management of future challenges and disruptions.

This edition of The Real Economy Canada explores how businesses can cultivate competitive advantages in critical areas like productivity and timely succession tax planning.

Our analysts also examine the nuanced considerations for return-to-office strategies in the professional services sector and how a new tax deduction could bolster domestic investment—and provide key incentives for businesses.

It can be a challenging or uncomfortable conversation, but owners who are thinking about their company’s future should start evaluating their succession tax planning options early.
