- expand capital cost allowance Classes 43.1 and 43.2 to include air-source heat pumps that are used primarily for space or water heating;
- include the manufacturing of air-source heat pumps used for space or water heating as an eligible zero-emission technology manufacturing or processing activity; and
- review the Income Tax Act (Canada)'s scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED) program.
