Online you have a section that talks about regulatory burden. It says to “work with provincial and federal partners to reduce unnecessary and burdensome administrative and regulatory requirements to tourism operators.”
One of those things is doing your books at the end of the year, summing up your financial year, and that's always a problem for all of these smaller businesses, like the one my mom runs, a small bed and breakfast. You're rushing to put your books together because you're thinking about running your business, not trying to comply with the government rules for it.

I remember many times my mom waking me up at 4:00 a.m. and having to go in at 5:00 a.m. because the rooms needed to be cleaned because there were guests coming in or the bedding needed to be changed. How much of an impact...? Have you heard from your members on this small business tax proposal?
