Toronto, December 5, 2019 – The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is available to comment on today’s Throne Speech from the federal government on behalf of Canada’s small and medium-sized businesses.
CFIB has asked the new government to make small business a major focus of its mandate. To do that, the government should:
- Make it as easy to sell a small business to a family member as it is to a stranger
- Work with the provinces to reduce interprovincial trade barriers, particularly on beer and wine
- Deliver on its election promise to eliminate credit card processing fees on HST and GST
- Put in place a plan to balance the budget within the next five years
Dan Kelly (President), Corinne Pohlmann (Senior Vice-President, National Affairs) and Jasmin Guénette (Vice-President, National Affairs) will be available to comment on the Throne Speech.
