It's got everything to do with Canada Post wanting to increase its revenue and market share. And they don't care what the casualties are. They don't care about who goes out of business or how many jobs are lost.
They're really going to add to the paper burden and I don't see the need for that.
This isn't just a matter of changing the settings on a cash register - that can be done fairly quickly.
It's one thing to announce it, but you can't just flick a switch and all of a sudden bang, it's done. Businesses need some time to adjust and to change their systems.
It's going to result in thousands of jobs lost and its going to result in millions of dollars lost to the economy and I don't think they fully appreciate this.
Even as a non-partisan group we have been able to influence the election because we're asking them where they stand on these issues. It's almost been a bidding war with a lot of the parties saying exactly what they'll do for small business.
We're disappointed, frustrated and angry. Small business is not a part of the Ontario plan for this budget and there is nothing.
