Though it sounds like a penalty for new arrivals, its name is actually derived from former Quebec cabinet member Jean Bienvenue, who tabled the bill proposing the tax; Bienvenue’s surname translates into English as ‘welcome’. These municipal-level real estate transfer taxes can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, and property buyers must pay within 30 days of closing their purchase.<br /> <br /></p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">18 </span><span class="month">December </span><span class="year">2024</span></div></div></div></div></div> Wed, 18 Dec 2024 18:48:12 +0000 webfull 205528 at /channels 2023 SSHRC Insight Development Grants /channels/channels/news/2023-sshrc-insight-development-grants-356629 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><h4><b>Congratulations to the º«¹úÂãÎè Desautels professors who received 2023 SSHRC Insight Grants.</b></h4> <hr /> <p>The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) is the federal research funding agency that promotes and supports research and training in the humanities and social sciences.</p> <p> </p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/sshrc.png?itok=y8UasTN9" width="160" height="84" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">8 </span><span class="month">April </span><span class="year">2024</span></div></div></div></div></div> Mon, 08 Apr 2024 15:04:00 +0000 webfull 199246 at /channels Delve: Why Accounting Holds the Key to Successful Sustainability Initiatives, with Brian Wenzel /channels/channels/news/delve-why-accounting-holds-key-successful-sustainability-initiatives-brian-wenzel-348619 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>What does accounting have to do with sustainability?
