These are excellent proposals @BradleyVis and consistent with CFIB’s recommendations. Happy to work with you to move these small business friendly policies forward.

[Brad Vis @BradleyVis]

Today, I announced two new Conservative proposals to lower taxes, reduce administrative burdens, and help Canadian entrepreneurs succeed:

• Increase the GST/HST small-supplier threshold from $30,000 to $60,000 and;
• Increase the federal Small Business Deduction limit from $500,000 to $700,000.

Both thresholds would be indexed to inflation, so small businesses aren't penalized simply because operations get more expensive.

After years of rising costs, trade uncertainty, and increasingly complicated tax rules, Canadian entrepreneurs deserve a break. That is why Conservatives introduced our Economic Action Plan; because it’s time to make it easier to start a business, grow a business, and create jobs in Canada.

It is great to see a new federal red tape reduction strategy which includes several long-standing CFIB recommendations. 

The new requirement for regulators to reduce regulatory burden costs by $2 for every $1 added is a significant step forward.

This Federal budget, CFIB is asking the government to reduce the all-time-high costs of doing business in Canada as a small firm with these four recommendations.

Strengthening these businesses, including CFIB members, will secure Canada’s economy in the face of uncertainty.

About to join @680CJOB in Winnipeg on today’s worrisome job numbers.

[CFIB Newfoundland and Labrador @CFIBNL]

When public construction runs long, small businesses pay the price. In Conception Bay South, the Seal Cove Road Bridge closed May 4 for what the Town said would be about four months. Five months later, there’s no reopening date. The owners of Seal Cove Grocery store say sales are down 30% heading into the holiday season.

68% of small businesses say they should be compensated when a public construction project has a major impact on their operations.

CFIB is urging provincial and municipal governments in Newfoundland and Labrador to adopt construction mitigation policies that include:

• Funding to offset costs for affected businesses
• Better planning and communication with business owners
• Clear responsibilities for each order of government

Municipalities need a plan before the next project, not after.

Thanks to Industry @ISED_CA Minister @melaniejoly for joining CFIB’s Board of Governors at our fall meeting in Montreal. It was good to catch up on the impact of the trade war on small business in advance of the fall budget.
