Today’s announcement of a pause in the use of tariffs in Canada-U.S. trade is welcome relief for small businesses. But as the threat of tariffs continues to loom, the ongoing uncertainty will make it challenging for small business owners to plan and make decisions around their operations.

While we catch our breath and implement the border measures, we can’t afford to take our eyes off the many other critical changes needed to prepare for the future. This means we need to seize the opportunity now to bring in policies that improve our investment climate, reduce taxes, slash red tape and break down internal trade barriers to ensure we are prepared no matter what external threats come our way.

– Dan Kelly, President, CFIB– Corinne Pohlmann, Executive Vice-President, Advocacy, CFIB
