 PURPOSE...............9
The  purpose  of this article is to give a general overview of the Harmonization Program and its progress as of October . Before exploring some of the differences in the provincial private law and their potential impact on federal tax legislation, it would be useful to give background information on the duality of our legal system and on the particular interaction between federal law and provincial private law in Canada. Next we will give a broad overview of the most important differences between the common law tradition and the civil law tradition in order to illustrate the challenge at hand in applying federal tax legislation fairly and efficiently. Also we will briefly explain the Harmonization Program, its objectives and techniques, and report on the harmonization work done thus far.4
