Could make it easier and do something like what Quebec does in small-claims courts: don't allow lawyers.

Should be fine for those with tax returns that are simple enough to understand. Not so much for those that choose complicated financial structures.

In a criminal context in the US, you have a constitutional right to legal representation. I suspect Canada is the same, but I don't know for sure. In any case, this isn't a viable solution, even if it were a good idea, which I'm skeptical of.
