Thanks for added info msilver2. I now see what you are saying about the fact that even in the PDF download from CRA that the date and investment type were missing. I agree completely that CRA should have instead addressed this on their end, preemptively, by doing as you suggested or fixing the issue in some other way. This especially true given that that the actual date of disposition is no longer relevant after the government's recent reversal on that issue. Agreed, a warning from CRA about this issue would have been appreciated.
I am also left wondering if a powerful potential lobbyist for action on this issue, such as TurboTax/Intuit and other tax software companies, could have applied some pressure for CRA to provide a simple workaround before taxes were due? Then again, maybe they did and either CRA decided not to deal with it, or the change did not come in time for the end of this tax season. Maybe it is/was only an issue for TY2024 and therefore they don't plan to make any changes.
