Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- The Finance Minister announced on July 18, 2017 a public consultation on proposed tax changes affecting how private corporations operate in Canada;
- The Finance Minister’s proposals will increase taxes on investment income for small business people to 73%, force middle class farmers and small businesses to spend more on compliance and red tape and reduce the number of family doctors in our communities;
- As of December 2015, there were 1.14 million small businesses in Canada employing over 8.2 million Canadians (70.5%) of the total private labour force according to Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada; and
- These proposed changes could have a significant negative impact on Canada’s economy, increase unemployment, and result in countless hard-working small business owners having to shut their doors.
