Wins for Business 2021

Business representation that delivers real impact.

The Budget delivered on a number of our specific policy proposals outlined in our Roadmap to Recovery, pre-budget submission and policy resolutions. Some highlights:

 

  • Extension of business supports like CEWS and CERS for the hardest-hit sectors and small businesses.
  • Creation of the Canada Recovery Hiring Program to help the hardest hit businesses hire staff when they are ready for recovery.
  • Reskilling and upskilling to get Canadians back to work, as well as producing better data on labour market demand in individual communities and building talent pipelines based on employer needs.
  • National leadership on reducing interprovincial trade barriers by collecting data, identifying barriers, and allocating federal transfers to provinces and territories to address these issues.
  • Recapitalization of the National Trade Corridors fund to support trade-enabling infrastructure
  • Support for SME technology adoption through capital expenditures and financing to improve Canadian productivity.
