As a chamber of commerce, we love to talk about tax reduction for business owners, for consumers, and for retail. I'm leaving P.E.I. in about 15 minutes to drive to Halifax to present to the Standing Committee on Finance tomorrow morning. I suspect that conversation is going to focus a lot on taxes.
Certainly with regard to the business environment within which our PNP nominees and our P.E.I. connectors clients are operating, opportunities can't be considered if we don't consider the same environment that our local businesses are trying to operate in. P.E.I. is an environment that has some of the highest small business taxes and corporate taxes in the country, and I think they have other tax proposals looming. These are certainly of concern to not only the local business community, but also those newcomer businesses coming to P.E.I. and trying to set up operations.
