CFIB Finds Provincial Budget Impressive Overall

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business find the provincial budget impressive overall.
Andreea Bourgeois tells CHSJ News they like the government's plan to cut spending by 1.6 per cent over the next year.
She says they see a plan to get back to a balanced position by 2014-2015 which is fairly short-term and they have seen a decrease in the small business tax rate--both positive things for small businesses.    Bourgeois expects a mixed reaction from small business owners because of tax increases which the CFIB's believes will take away their competitive advantage.
