On flawed plans

Yes, it's well worth noting when a tax incentive isn't doing what it's supposed to. And a research and development tax credit that does little to spur actual research certainly fits the bill.

But let's also keep in mind part of the problem with the enforcement of federal tax rules generally, as the Harper Cons have deliberately weakened the Canada Revenue Agency in its efforts to monitor tax compliance. Which is great for those who are eager to follow the Cons' pattern of twisting the law to their own ends - but makes for a disastrous loss of revenue for Canadians who play by the rules.
