CGA Ontario. Dunphy is a member of the Calgary law firm,

The 15-member Tax Professionals Advisory committee is part of the CRA’s Future Directions initiative, which is intended to improve the CRA’s understanding of the needs of its clients. Committee members provide the CRA with advice and comments on matters that reflect the tax professional’s perspective; help the agency identify opportunities for closer, more efficient working relationships with tax professionals; provide the agency with the opportunity to communicate its plans and initiatives to tax professionals, and help the agency develop policies, procedures, and forms that will have an impact on tax professionals and their clients. The inaugural meeting of the committee was held in Ottawa on
November 28, 2003.
