NDP Statement at the Start of Small Business Week

Jagmeet Singh, Leader of Canada’s NDP, issued the following statement:

“Across Canada, families and communities rely on small businesses – but Canadian business owners deserve a fair system that helps them succeed.

That’s why the NDP has stood up for lower small business taxes, an end to unfair fees that credit card companies charge Canadian small businesses – and to end taxes that make it harder to pass down family businesses to the next generation.

The Liberal government promised to help small businesses – but they’ve failed to provide the solutions that Canadian small businesses need to compete with big corporations.

Supporting small businesses helps create good jobs for more people, and helps more Canadians build good lives in their communities – which is why New Democrats will never stop standing up for the changes that small businesses need to get ahead.”
