It's #Budget2026 day! 🇨🇦
The @CFIB team is about to enter the federal budget lock-up to see whether @FP_Champagne's budget delivers for Canada's small businesses #SME.
Tax simplification, tariff relief, red tape reduction... We're keeping an eye on it all for you! #CdnPoli

🚨 Canada's entrepreneurial drought is real. We can't keep losing businesses faster than we create them.
The federal budget is a chance to change course. CFIB is calling for lower small business taxes, tariff relief & policies that make it easier to start & grow a business.

Great meeting today with NL Finance Minister Craig Pardy. We discussed the challenges facing small businesses across Newfoundland and Labrador, especially the 15% sales tax on insurance.
Removing this tax must remain a priority for government. Small firms are counting on relief.
CFIB News retweeted
🇨🇦🇺🇸 88% of small business owners want Canada-US trade negotiations to resume as soon as possible.
In a recent letter to the PM, @CFIB urges @MarkJCarney government to return to the negotiating table and provide accessible tariff relief before lasting damage is done.

Great meeting today with Premier Tony Wakeham and Lloyd Parrott, Minister of Red Tape Reduction, alongside CFIB Vice-President, Advocacy Corinne Pohlmann.
We shared what Newfoundland and Labrador small business owners are telling us matters most:
• Eliminating the 15% retail sales tax on insurance, a cost that hits small firms year after year
• Continued progress on red tape reduction, so owners spend less time on paperwork and more time running their businesses
• Construction mitigation legislation to support businesses hurt by long-term roadwork and infrastructure projects
Thank you to the Premier and Minister for the productive conversation. We look forward to continuing to work together on behalf of NL's small businesses

Thank you MPP Smyth for taking the time to hear directly from small business owners in Toronto–St. Paul's about how and why they chose this neighbourhood to start, operate and grow their businesses.

With rumours that this week’s federal budget focused on small business and entrepreneurship, the big test will be whether government includes broad-based measures, like a reduction in the small business corporate tax rate.
Reducing small biz taxes or a payroll tax like EI would have far more positive impacts than the traditional approach of creating new funds or complicated grant and loan programs to shower support on a handful of well-connected companies.
After dozens of pre-budget meetings with Ministers and MPs with all parties, I’ll be in Ottawa on Thursday to review and comment on the budget.

This would be very welcome news. 87% of small businesses want Canada and the US to negotiate an agreement as quickly as possible. 30% of Canadian SMEs say they are at risk of permanent closure within the next 12 months if this is unresolved.
Carney’s positive trade talk comments were accompanied by an equally positive statement from the White House given to Global News #cdnpoli
“The Trump Administration welcomes continued engagement with Canada as we work toward finalizing the details of a deal that will deliver meaningful results for the American people”

CFIB is asking the Federal government to revisit several outdated sales tax systems for the upcoming budget (scheduled for November 5th).
It’s time Canada brings these taxes into the 21st century.
