It's hard to manage what you don't measure, and it's helpful to have good data when making public policy decisions.
A lot of Canadians, especially from Atlantic Canada, work in other regions or in different provinces sometimes for weeks on end, but keep their families and file taxes in their home province. I'd like to get a better understanding of how many Atlantic Canadians travel west to work but continue to pay taxes in Atlantic Canada. We've looked at Statistics Canada interprovincial workforce data. Their most recent data appears to be around 2009, but there's been a lot of development in, for instance, the resource sector since 2009.
Does the CRA track how many Canadians work in a different province from where they live and file their taxes?
