Government Relations

As the voice of the jewellery industry in Canada, part of the CJA’s mandate is to monitor government legislation as it pertains to the industry. Additionally, the CJA works to ensure that such legislation is informed by input from members of the industry. For example, in May 2, 2006 the Excise Tax, imposed 90 years ago to help fund the war, has finally been repealed.
 

Additionally, the CJA works with law enforcement and legislative bodies to ensure that the Canadian jewellery industry remains trustworthy and free from criminal influence.
