Congratulations to @MarkJCarney on his election as Canada’s Prime Minister and to all re-elected and newly elected MPs. We thank Prime Minister @MarkJCarney for taking the time to visit many iconic restaurants during his campaign, that make our communities so vibrant. From Montreal institutions like @SchwartzsDeli and @labanquise to family-owned restaurants like @RosiesRestaura1 in Gander, NL, and Kozak Ukrainian Eatery in New Westminster, BC, and Canadian classic @TimHortons , he truly took us on a Canadian food tour.
@RestaurantsCA looks forward to working with you to build a strong and resilient foodservice industry in every community across the country.
@MarkJCarney Removing GST/HST from all food should be added to the list! Canadians believe that food should not be taxed. Our research shows this would create jobs, improve food affordability and support restaurants. See @RestaurantsCA press release for more: https://t.co/yt71AlGREl

Aider les gens à garder leur emploi au lieu d'attendre qu'ils le perdent pour les soutenir. C'était la bonne chose à faire en temps de pandémie, c'est encore la bonne chose à faire dans la situation actuelle.
@RestaurantsCA convient que c’est une approche qui a du sens : elle nous a permis de nous remettre sur pied plus rapidement, de minimiser l’impact sur les employés, les employeurs et les organisations qui aident les citoyens. Je @MarkJCarney@PierrePoilievre encourage à s’inspirer de cette proposition
Encouraging to see the momentum & announcement from @TimHoustonNS to bring down Interprovincial barriers. This will deliver an economic boost. @RestaurantsCA looks forward to seeing other provinces follow suit.

Le congé de TPS aide à maintenir et créer de nouveaux emplois en restauration. Dans ce contexte volatile, quoi de mieux que de solidifier les emplois et soutenir la confiance des consommateurs. Éliminons la TPS sur la nourriture de manière permanente.
"We don't have the capacity and the production within Canada for many of the goods that are necessary for restaurants... so we're asking the government to really consider exempting food and food packaging from it's response." - @RCFederalQC Vice President Federal & Quebec, Maximilien Roy on @CityNewsTO

The GST and HST holiday will be a lifeline to the restaurant industry over the slow winter months. Our VP, Federal and Quebec, Maximilien Roy (@RCFederalQC), appeared before the Senate Standing Committee on Finance last week to testify on the importance of this measure on behalf of our industry.

J'ai eu le plaisir de participer à l'étude du PL78 devant le Sénat cette semaine. Le congé de TPS aura des retombées positives pour le secteur de la restauration.
When it comes to affordability, restaurant operators are right there struggling alongside Canadians. This is why we welcome the federal government's temporary GST and HST relief. Our VP, Federal and Quebec, Maximilien Roy (@RCFederalQC), appeared before the Senate Standing Committee on Finance last week to testify on behalf of our industry.

Thanks to Restaurants Canada’s year-long advocacy, the federal government’s new GST Holiday (Dec. 14 – Feb. 15) will provide much-needed relief for the foodservice industry. This initiative is expected to generate nearly $1 billion in sales, helping restaurants rebound from rising costs and reduced foot traffic.

Le moment est opportun de réduire le taux de cotisation à l'assurrance-emploi, qui permet à tous de garder plus d'argent dans leurs poches tout en gardant les mêmes bénéfices.
Payroll taxes, like Employment Insurance (EI) are particularly heavy on small businesses because they are profit insensitive. They also cut deep into employees’ take-home pay, affecting their disposable income.
Ottawa, let's lighten the load with lower payroll taxes.

Restaurants Canada urging government to improve affordability
Thank you @RetailInsider_ for bringing attention to this issue. Let’s see the Liberal government show Canadians their listening. @RestaurantsCA https://t.co/cCvZATYCPV
There are 100,000 restaurants all over Canada that play a vital role in the communities they reside in; from supporting the local economy to providing jobs, to being an integral part of the social fabric of the community. This week and every week, support small businesses
