Tariff uncertainty could cause ‘modest recession,' new summer outlook warns
The uncertainty around the tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on Canada could cause a 'modest recession' in 2025, a new report by Deloitte says. The report noted that Canada's economy will grow by 1.1 per cent by the end of 2025, accelerating to 1.6 per cent by next year. However, the uncertainty around Trump's tariffs will continue to cause economic damage. Deloitte chief economist Dawn Desjardins said in the report that 'the extreme rise in policy uncertainty' in Canada's relationship with its largest trading partner, the United States, 'now exceeds levels experienced during the pandemic.' She said this 'is taking a toll on confidence with consumer and business confidence measures falling to the lowest levels outside the pandemic.' Desjardins said the uncertainty will delay business investment in Canada and hiring will be hit. Story continues below advertisement 'A modest recession is likely to occur this year,' Desjardins said. 5:42 What the looming recession could mean for your wallet Tariff impact The report said that while Canada's exposure to Trump's tariffs has been less than the average tariffs on other countries, with Canadian exporters complying with the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) escaping the 25 per cent Trump tariffs, the uncertainty is hurting trade with the U.S. Story continues below advertisement 'Recent data however showed a sharp drop in Canadian exports to the US which may continue over the months ahead especially for products, like steel and aluminum and finished autos, that continue to face steep tariffs,' the report said.

Canada's growth will largely be led by energy-exporting Alberta, as well as Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador, the report said. 1:08 Canadians cut back on charity as economic pressures mount Will the Bank of Canada cut rates? During its last interest rate announcement earlier this month, the Bank of Canada held interest rates steady. While the economy may continue to soften, the central bank has indicated that its focus will turn to keeping prices low. Story continues below advertisement The Deloitte report forecasts only two more interest rate cuts for the rest of the year from the central bank. 'With tariffs set to nudge inflation higher over the coming months, the Bank is likely to cut interest rates only two more times in July and September, when the economy is contracting mildly, before pausing and turn the stimulus baton over to government,' the report said. 1:59 Major policy win for Carney as major projects bill passes in Canada's House The Mark Carney government's 'One Canadian Economy' bill, which aims to knock down federal barriers to interprovincial trade and remove some regulatory measures for big projects, will also likely give the economy some boost by the end of the year, the report said. 'Many provinces are following suit to reduce interprovincial trade barriers and build more infrastructure, boding well for our economic resilience and long-term prosperity,' the report said. Story continues below advertisement 'Overall, we expect to see modest growth in fiscal operational spending and a ramp up in government investment starting in the final quarter of this year,' it added. 1:48 Carney to increase U.S. steel, aluminum tariffs if trade talks with Trump stall Jobs and household spending The report notes that employment has already taken a hit in Canada's manufacturing sector, which has been impacted by U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum, softwood lumber and cars. Story continues below advertisement This is likely to hit hiring across the broader economy, it said. 'We are seeing that weakness spill into other industries with transportation and warehousing and business services also recently reducing their workforces,' the report said. Deloitte forecasts unemployment to be around 7.3 per cent in the third quarter of 2025, but drop below seven per cent by early next year. Weak job numbers will also mean Canadians are likely to spend less. Lower immigration numbers will also contribute to lower household spending, the report said.

Ever heard of Driver Inc.? Canada's trucking industry is calling it a $1B scam
The national voice of the trucking industry in Canada is renewing calls for the federal government to pump the brakes on what it says is a $1-billion scam. The scam, which the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) has coined Driver Inc. , occurs when companies incorrectly classify drivers as independent contractors, instead of employees to save money on payroll taxes. We believe that in some parts of Canada at least a third of the companies and the drivers are participating in this, and it's hurting us twofold as a society, said Stephen Laskowski, CTA president and CEO. Those are taxes that aren't going into our [economy], and on the flip side of it, it's about a 30 per cent advantage in the marketplace. Laskowski described Driver Inc. as a tax evasion scheme and says some trucking companies are purposely misclassifying drivers to save money. He says drivers also lose labour protections including fair pay, overtime and vacation pay, as well as health and safety protections. In 2021, the government made it illegal for federally regulated employers to misclassify employees, and added penalties for non-compliance. Exposing the trucking industry's underground economy Début du widget Widget. Passer le widget ? Fin du widget Widget. Retourner au début du widget ? The national voice of the trucking industry in Canada calls it a $1-billion scam and the biggest threat they're facing. CBC explores Driver Inc. In a statement to CBC, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) said that prohibition was strengthened in 2024 by placing the burden on employers to prove a worker is not an employee. However, Laskowski said more needs to be done, identifying Driver Inc. as the biggest current threat to the industry — including the ongoing Canada-U.S. trade war. We have worked and pleaded with governments to address it, and the reality is they are starting to, but nowhere near to the level that needs to be done. Nowhere near, he said. Companies target newcomers Driver Karanveer Singh agrees there's a lack of enforcement against companies that break the law. Singh came to Canada from India's northern Punjab state as an international student when he was 18 years old. I'm trying to chase the Canadian dream, he said. But Singh's journey took a detour shortly after he got his commercial trucking licence. He said the first two companies he worked for misclassified him as an incorporated driver, and also never paid him. Singh was able to prove to the Canadian Labour Board that he had been misclassified and the companies were ordered to pay what he was owed. While he was able to collect from one of the companies, Singh said it's unlikely he'll ever see the nearly $40,000 owed by the second company. Until the government enforces it, it is useless, he said, referring to the court order. These companies, they know what they are doing…. Most of the time they will find new immigrants, new truck drivers to target because they are so easy to target because every new immigrant is desperate for a job. A difficult problem Part of the CTA's solution involves lifting a moratorium on assessing penalties for failing to complete the fees for service box of the T4A tax slip. Laskowski said that would help the CRA identify and audit companies that rely heavily on incorporated drivers. However, it could also further slow an already sluggish system, according to Ottawa tax lawyer Dean Blachford. With penalties comes disputes and penalty relief requests that clog up the system even if they are for small amounts, he explained in an email to CBC. Meanwhile, the companies that are pushing the limits the most with Driver's Inc. still might not comply with the T4A requirement and instead take further evasive means (such as using shell companies) to creditor proof themselves from having to pay the penalty if CRA ever identifies them. In a statement to CBC, the CRA said it's working toward lifting the moratorium before enforcement commences. It also said the agency is not aware of the analysis underlying Laskowski's claim that Driver Inc. has resulted in about $1 billion in lost tax revenue, and therefore cannot comment. Driving down business The owner of Kriska Transportation Group in Prescott, Ont., is also urging the federal government to act, saying the Driver Inc. model is driving companies that do comply with tax regulations out of business. The unfairness makes owner Mark Seymour's blood pressure rise. It's widely known, it's not a dirty little secret. It's out of control, he said. Mark Seymour, CEO of Kriska Transportation Group, says compliant companies such as his simply can't compete with those using the Driver Inc. model. (Robyn Miller/CBC) Photo: (Robyn Miller/CBC) Seymour has been in the business more than four decades, taking over Kriska from his late father in 1994. I have competed as many of us have for many years based on price and service where price should be established from the same ground rules as everyone, he said. That's paying appropriate taxes, treating people as employees and in the manner that the government would expect. Ron and Francie Langevin own P.A. Langevin Transport in Carleton Place, Ont., and say they, too, worry about the future. There's so much wrong with this industry right now, Ron Langevin said, adding he suspects the companies that operate under the Driver Inc. model are so focused on profits that they also let safety standards slip. These issues are falling through the cracks, and the next time you're driving on a highway with a transport truck beside you I want you to look at it and I want you to wonder how safe am I, really, Francie Langevin said. Singh said in his experience, that assessment is true. He recalled being trained by a very inexperienced driver who got them into trouble at the Port Huron border crossing. He hit the concrete wall over there at the border, and I was so surprised. Like, this is supposed to be my trainer and he just like damaged the truck, Singh said. On his next trip, Singh said he was asked to be the trainer. They did not [tell] me a single thing and just gave me a new training driver for me to train, he said. "They want their stuff delivered, they want their job done. I think when these companies are allowed to operate, Canadians are not safe, he said. Ron and Francie Langevin worry about the future of the trucking industry. They suspect companies that use the Driver Inc. model also cut corners when it comes to safety. (Robyn Miller/CBC) Photo: (Robyn Miller/CBC) ESDC said it is taking action, recently entering into an information-sharing agreement with the CRA to help with enforcement and compliance. It also pointed to a dedicated team of inspectors focused exclusively on the road transportation industry across Canada. Since 2023, ESDC said the team has conducted about 540 inspections and held 320 education sessions across the country. Robyn Miller (new window) · CBC News
