A few weeks ago, we asked for your help with contacting MPs and the Finance Minister to oppose the government's proposal to tax employer-sponsored health and dental benefit plans. In addition to hundreds or thousands of dollars that would be added to Canadians' tax bills, it also could have meant that many employers could no longer provide coverage to employees.
Yesterday in the House of Commons,
the Prime Minister said
the government will not be moving forward with the tax. Our message has gotten through that this was a bad idea that would harm middle class Canadians.
We will continue to monitor developments, but this is very positive news. Thank you for being part of this initiative. The Canadian Chamber network has a powerful voice when we all work together.

Book of the Month February
Studies have repeatedly shown that the majority of employees are disengaged at work - but it doesn't have to be this way. Often the difference between a group of indifferent employees and a fully engaged team comes down to one simple thing - a great boss.
