Before the end of 2016, will the federal government officially announce that it plans to increase the duty-free exemption for products purchased online?
Yes: 20%
The federal government is said to be considering an increase in the duty-free exemption for items purchased online (see article here). The article does not quote any specific sources in the government, although the Liberals supported a higher exemption when the Conservatives were in power. The exemption in Canada has not been changed since 1985, and is much lower than most other comparable countries. I think that the exemption will eventually be increased, but not necessarily in 2016.
