Lawyers Demand Justice After Quebec Teen’s Death

Lawyers representing the family of Nooran Rezayi , a 15-year-old boy fatally shot by police in Longueuil, Quebec, are calling for accountability after allegations of interference in the investigation. Rezayi was killed on September 21, 2025 , in a suburban neighborhood south of Montreal. Quebec’s police watchdog (BEI) has accused local officers of questioning witnesses and attempting to obtain video footage , actions that could compromise the independence of the probe. Lawyers for Rezayi’s family insist such interference cannot go unpunished.

"CRA Duped Again: Ontario Construction Tax Credit Scam Costs Millions"

 

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has once again fallen victim to a tax credit scam, this time involving Ontario's construction tax credit scheme. According to sources, the CRA mistakenly paid out tens of millions of dollars to scammers who used fake businesses to claim tax credits for non-existent renovations and construction projects.

The scheme, which began in 2020, allowed businesses to claim tax credits for building or renovating commercial facilities. However, the CRA failed to verify the claims, accepting them without review and paying out the credits without proper scrutiny. This oversight has resulted in significant financial losses, with the exact amount still being calculated but estimated to be in the tens of millions.

Minister of National Revenue Marie-Claude Bibeau has defended the CRA's fraud detection systems, calling them "robust," despite the repeated failures. The CRA has declined to comment on how the scam was missed and has not disclosed specific details about their monitoring strategies.

The Ontario finance ministry has stated that the CRA is responsible for administering the tax credits on behalf of the province, including conducting audits. Both the federal and provincial governments are now working together to address non-compliance and implement measures to minimize fraud in the future.

This latest incident raises questions about the effectiveness of the CRA's fraud detection systems and the accountability for the financial losses incurred.
