No gain without pain in budget moves say CFIB backing
Tony Carton argues that while higher sales taxes and tax shifts sting some, Canada’s budget aims to spur a healthier economy. CFIB had long urged more investment in small and medium firms, proposing shifts to raise billions for investment, RRSP reforms, and capital gains relief to pass businesses to the next generation, with aims to reduce unemployment. The plan includes self administered RRSPs, a capital gains exemption up to 500000, a pension fund funnel into small firms, and a freeze on EI premiums plus a corporate surtax exemption, all expected to boost small business and jobs over time.
