The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has launched a legal challenge against the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for enforcing the capital gains tax increase without it being approved by Parliament.

“The capital gains tax hike blows a hole through a fundamental principle of Canada’s democracy, while also blowing a hole in Canada’s economy,” said CTF Federal Director Franco Terrazzano at a press conference in Ottawa on Jan. 27.
