On July 18, Finance Canada launched a consultation on how "tax-planning strategies involving corporations are being used to gain unfair tax advantages". The document contains proposed policies to close these "loopholes". However, this is more than just a change to close loopholes, it is deemed to be the most radical tax overhaul in 50 years. As a result, significant concerns are arising among businesses across Canada. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are the engine of the Canadian economy - estimates range from 85 to 90% of all businesses in Canada are SMEs. The chamber network across Canada is using its collective voice on this issue; your voice as a business person needs to be heard as part of this initiative.

Adjustments to improve on-time performance are being made to Medicine Hat Transit (MHT) route schedules. Changes will be effective as of Monday, September 25. Routes previously scheduled to take 30 minutes to travel from one end to the other will now take 35 minutes, with round trips taking 70 minutes. Adding time to certain sections of routes where bottlenecks have been experienced, including Maple Avenue overpass, Dunmore Road and College Hill will help ensure routes are reliable and predictable and transfers can be made as scheduled.

A lot of time, effort, money and hard work goes into starting up a business and some still fail. It is this knowledge and the process itself that sometimes gets in the way of the best ideas moving from concept to reality. While some would say that, the traditional method of starting a business should in fact be hard, as this weeds out those not 'tough' enough to be successful in business, I would argue that just getting started is the key to success in business. Many experts are proponents of iterative business development, a process where you don't wait until you have all the answers and full business plan, to get your venture underway.
