Marie-Gabrielle Ménard Liberal
“We are supporting small businesses. We are helping them sell goods to other countries and including them in our defence plan. We also paused the excise tax to help them.”
“Mr. Speaker, of course, I share my colleague’s concern for our small businesses. Canada is home to one million businesses employing six million Canadians. I have just finished a series of round-table discussions, and we are working with SMEs to help them get export-ready. Small businesses will have their place in Canada’s defence industrial strategy. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business welcomed the suspension of the excise tax. That also supports small businesses in Canada.”
