Spokesperson John Power said the CRA made the original decision to change the wording, not Lebouthillier. The CRA will hold an internal review on the wording change, which will be followed by a consultation on the issue with industry groups, Power added. The controversial update to the CRA documents first appeared in a tax folio and was later added to the agency’s employer’s guide. Finance Minister Bill Morneau says there is misinformation circulating about the likely impacts of Ottawa’s tax reform plans. Karl Littler, vice-president of public affairs for the Retail Council of Canada, welcomed the government’s decision to remove the change.
