Huge subsidies for Big Business!
The government can find BILLIONS for foreign-owned car companies, but where’s the help for small business?

The cost of everything is going up! In the last five years alone: the carbon tax is up, the CPP is up, now EI premiums are up! The costs of labour and insurance have skyrocketed.
My business can’t take it! It’s time for you to step in and reduce the cost of doing business in Canada!
To keep small businesses like mine on track, I am urging you to:
Freeze the carbon tax and return money paid in by small business owners in a fair manner.
Introduce a lower Employment Insurance (EI) premium rate for smaller employers.
Pause any CPP premium or threshold increases.
Reduce the Small Business Tax Rate and increase the Small Business Tax Rate threshold to $700,000 and index it to inflation.
