The Supreme Court of Canada in Callidus Capital Corp. v Canada, 2018 SCC 47, recently held that the dissent ruling of Pelletier J.A. of the Federal Court of Appeal in Canada v Callidus Capital Corporation, 2017 CAF 162, was the correct interpretation of s. 222(3) of the Excise Tax Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36 confirming that CRA loses its right to priority payment over all creditors, even secured creditors, for unremitted GST and HST when the debtor becomes bankrupt.
