The members who are part of our organization have seen a disproportionate number of misclassification audits.
Going back to the question of whether the drivers know which model is better, you have to understand one thing: No one forces a driver to incorporate. There's no benefit from it, no profit from it, to anyone. CRA already has tools in its arsenal—the PSBs, the integration of T2 and T1 and the T4A —to weed out anybody who's cheating on tax. There is really no profit to anyone in forcing any one person to go out and incorporate more of the others.
The issue is about control. Drivers do not want to be told when to drive, where to drive, what time to show up to work, when to take a lunch break, when they can go to work. Most importantly, these people are away from their families for weeks on end, so they want to arrange their time in such a manner that they can spend time with their families. If you are an employee, you can't do that. That's one of the biggest reasons why drivers incorporate—to be able to control their own family time. The narrative that somehow people forced them to do it has no evidentiary basis, nothing.
I also want to bring your attention to the material I filed. We have a technical response to the costing model of the “billion-dollar loss”. My model is built on proper real-world inputs that make no arbitrage for one person to provide services either as an employee or as a contractor.
