Rapid Policy Update: 2019 Federal Budget
|
The Government of Canada released its 2019 Federal Budget titled
Investing in the Middle Class
, which provides an update on the government’s finances, and makes several policy announcements and spending commitments that will have an effect on businesses and the overall economy.
View the Vaughan Chamber's analysis on the budget.
|
|
|
|
This year’s federal budget failed to address the fundamental issues undermining the ability of Canada’s business owners to create more jobs and economic prosperity for all Canadians, according to an analysis by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and Vaughan Chamber of Commerce.
“We had hoped for greater investments from the federal Government in this budget for local businesses and job creators,” said Brian Shifman, President and CEO of the Vaughan Chamber of Commerce. “While the Budget delivers on some of our advocacy priorities, particularly in the areas of skills and infrastructure, it fails to provide concrete measures to address the tax and regulatory burden on businesses.”
