Consulting for one place for five years straight? Be careful that CRA doesn't re-classify you into a Personal Services Business:
"A business carried on by a corporation will generally be a PSB if the following two tests are met:
- The individual performing the services (or someone related to the person) owns 10% or more of any class of shares of the corporation, and
- Without the use of the corporation, the individual would reasonably be regarded as an employee of the person or partnership paying a fee to the corporation."

I'm assuming you invoice this company above and are not an employee. If not, disregard my comment. These rules are a pain for any consultant in Calgary from what I've seen (myself included).
