Canadian Finance Minister to address Chartered Accountants

A press release by the Canadian Federal government:

The Honourable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance, will be a guest speaker at the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accoun­tants Tax Symposium on Monday, October 16, 2006.

Minister Flaherty will discuss the steps Canada’s New Government is taking to reduce the tax burden and create a more compet­itive tax system for Canadian families and businesses.

A question and answer session with members will follow the Minister’s address.

I wonder how one gets invited to such a symposium. Media who want to attend can contact someone at the CICA, but no mention is given to what upstanding members of the CICA can do.

I wonder if Flaherty will address the income trust dealy. I’m going to guess that he will, but I wonder whether we’ll get the details of what was said.
