Allow flow-through shares, where companies issue new shares that allow investors to deduct eligible R&D expenses directly from their taxable income
"Incentivize investment in innovation, especially in Canada’s startups, to help them grow and scale by introducing flow-through shares to our Canadian startup ecosystem, supporting companies in AI, quantum computing, biotech, and advanced manufacturing to raise money faster. This works by allowing companies to issue new shares that allow investors to deduct eligible R&D expenses directly from their taxable income, lowering the risk of investing in innovative Canadian companies. This builds off the successful model that has drawn investment into Canada’s world-leading mining sector and will help our startups to scale up and be the best in the world." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-23
