By Ceiledh Monk and Katie Davis W hen Ceiledh gave this letter to one of our directors to take a look at before she was going to send it off to Finance Minister Morneau and Prime Minister Trudeau, asking them to help her understand how their proposed tax changes were going to make Canada a better place to start and do business we just knew we had to publish it. How was it going to create more jobs and inspire Canadians to start their own businesses?
How will this tax change attract doctors to and wanting to stay in Canada?
How is this tax change going to help her achieve the Canadian Dream?
We are not sure what the answers will be or if she will even get them, but one thing we do know is that she is not alone and we recommend taking a few minutes to read her letter as many Canadians are feeling the same.
Dear Liberal Party of Canada, My name is Ceiledh Monk, a Bachelor of International Business student and the daughter of a small business owner, and I am sending this letter regarding the small business tax changes that are being proposed. I am aware and glad to hear that the government will be accepting feedback regarding this change until October 2 nd , 2017. In light of this, I would like to share my perspective as a future international business woman to allow our govern- ment to understand the severity of this “three pronged” tax change for small businesses and how it will affect not only our hard-working and economy supporting individuals but the entire Canadian economy. I will be graduating from university in 2021 as a fluently trilingual – English, French, and German - world citizen
