Thanks for the question.
One thing being talked about is the ability of companies in this space to get bank accounts. A strong statement from the federal government in support of that would go a long way to giving companies the ability to do business.
There are other complexities. For instance, the tax code makes it difficult for companies in Canada to understand what tax liabilities they're going to face in certain kinds of blockchain transactions, because they don't exactly know how to account for them. These companies want to pay their taxes, but it's very complicated. Certain simplifications or exemptions could go a long way.
There are also a lot of risks that entrepreneurs face because they're not sure what kind of liability they might have for writing open source software that will be used in ways they can't control. Protections and guarantees that it's safe to write and contribute open source code would be extremely helpful. It would help position Canada as a safe haven for developers and highly skilled workers. Some of the top-paid jobs in the country are, obviously, in the tech industry. That could help attract a lot more talent.
Those are a few things we face regularly. I've seen companies shut down, leave or go offshore simply because they can't get clarity. They're tired of spending thousands of dollars on lawyers to try to get answers, and they just can't get them.
