  "account": "Canada is proposing a tax incentive to attract investment and create jobs, aiming to compete with the United States for business. The proposed incentive would reduce Canada's marginal effective tax rate on new business investment from 13 percent to 6.4 percent, compared to the U.S. rate of 16.9 percent. The measure is a key component of Prime Minister Mark Carney's second federal budget, titled \"Masters of our Destiny.\" Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne emphasized that the plan seeks to change Canada's growth model, boost domestic commerce, and diversify trade. The government estimates that the incentive could cost an additional C$36 billion ($27.7 billion USD) over five years, beginning in 2026-27, but could generate up to 80,000 long-term jobs. A recent KPMG survey found that 51 percent of Canadian business owners and decision-makers believe the tax incentive would encourage new capital investment, while 49 percent said it would increase their investment in Canada.",
