Mr. Beatty goes on to say that the “tax hike will only...undermine the government's stated policy objectives: bolstering health and dental care..., attracting and retaining skilled professionals, increasing investment and innovation, and helping small businesses thrive.” You couldn't have a more damning position of the government's policy, yet it seems to be falling on deaf ears.
I was heartened to hear you say earlier that before the implementation legislation is tabled, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce will be proactive about this and, hopefully, that enough pressure will come over the summer, like it did with the in-the-dark-of-nighttime changes to the TOSI rules back in 2017, which the government ended up having to back off on. I suspect that a similar thing is going to happen over the summer when businesses—small businesses—wake up and realize they're getting screwed over by the government again.
Do you believe that the Chamber of Commerce will be mounting an exercise to push the government into withdrawing these changes?
