The Canadian Business Aviation Association (CBAA) has voiced strong opposition to a proposed tax policy announced by Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre that seeks to eliminate tax write-offs for what he termed “luxury corporate jets.”

In a letter addressed to Poilievre published on X (formerly Twitter), CBAA president and CEO Anthony Norejko expressed concerns that the proposed changes to the Income Tax Act would unfairly impact the business aviation sector, which the association argues plays a crucial role in Canada’s economy. “These are not the ‘jet-setting executives’ of caricature, but rather the backbone of an industry that connects remote communities, drives productivity, and positions Canada as a leader in aerospace technology,” the letter states.
