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 <a href="https://x.com/CBAACanada/status/1906216286889115740">published on X </a>(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.&nbsp;“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.
The letter highlights the industry’s contributions, including thousands of skilled jobs and billions in economic activity, emphasizing that business aviation extends beyond executive travel to serve remote job sites, resource industries, and technological innovation.&nbsp;CBAA also pointed out that such policies risk driving investment and talent outside of Canada, particularly at a time when the country is facing economic productivity challenges.
Comparing the situation to Canada’s historical <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2012-02-17/ain-blog-60-years-canadas-arrow-still-remembered">Avro Arrow</a> program—a widely debated aerospace decision that led to job losses and the migration of innovation—the association warned that similar consequences could arise from the proposed tax changes.
While the Conservative Party has traditionally championed manufacturing and high-skilled labor, CBAA contends this proposal contradicts those values.
