Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need province-specific bundles instead of just 'Canadian' ones?

Canada has a decentralized regulatory system where provinces control business registration, consumer protection laws, professional licensing, and sales taxes (PST/QST). Quebec has distinct civil law and strict language requirements (Bill 96), while Alberta has different privacy laws than BC. Operating with a one-size-fits-all approach risks non-compliance and tax errors.

How does this handle the difference between GST and HST?

The prompt instructs the AI to apply the correct tax rates based on your specified province—5% GST for Alberta/BC/Manitoba/Saskatchewan/Quebec/Yukon/NWT/Nunavut, combined HST (13% or 15%) for Ontario and Atlantic provinces, and adds QST (9.975%) specifically for Quebec. It also accounts for place-of-supply rules if you sell across provincial borders.

Does this work for federally regulated industries like banking or telecommunications?

Yes, but you must specify 'federally regulated' in the [ADDITIONAL_REQUIREMENTS] field. This triggers additional requirements including stricter Official Languages Act compliance (mandatory bilingualism), Accessible Canada Act standards, and different labour law considerations under the Canada Labour Code.
