QUESTION PERIOD — Industry
Support for Small Businesses
October 31, 2023
Hon. Yonah Martin (Deputy Leader of the Opposition)
The Prime Minister’s two carbon taxes, the alcohol escalator tax, increased payroll taxes and red tape, skyrocketing rent and interest rates and small business owners being accused of being tax cheats — this is the legacy of eight years of the Trudeau government when it comes to small business.
Leader, will your government bring forward a common sense plan to help our entrepreneurs, control your spending and set a time frame to balance the budget as the CFIB has asked?
Hon. Marc Gold (Government Representative in the Senate)

It’s the position of this government that the measures they have taken, are taking and will be taking are balanced, proportionate and prudent to guide this economy forward.
