Excessive forms, processes and rules around permits, signs and business licensing are making it harder to run a small business in Ontario. With municipal elections this October, it’s time to push for less red tape❗

Wishing you the best on the next chapter Minister @C_Mulroney. CFIB thanks you for your years of public service, including our recent pre-budget meeting.
Yesterday, I informed Premier Ford of my decision to resign from Cabinet and from my seat in the Ontario Legislature, effective June 5.
To Premier Ford, to the people of York-Simcoe, to Ontario’s Francophone community, to the York-Simcoe PC riding association, to my Caucus and Cabinet colleagues, to my constituency and ministerial teams, to the Ontario Public Service and my family – thank you.

Young Canadians are facing one of the toughest job markets in years 📉
Missing out on early work experience can slow skill development, delay future entrepreneurship, and impact important life milestones.
At the same time, small businesses, which employ 64% of Canada’s private-sector workforce, are navigating high costs and economic uncertainty, making it harder to create entry-level opportunities and train the next generation of talent.

📣 A major win for Ontario’s small businesses! The Small Business Tax Rate is dropping from 3.2% to 2.2% effective July 1, 2026, benefiting 375,000 businesses across the province.
This change follows a targeted advocacy campaign from CFIB Ontario and more than 11,000 small business owners who spoke up and pushed for action.
Thank you to everyone who signed the petition to help make this happen. We will keep advocating to increase the SBTR income threshold and reducing red tape to make it easier to run a small business in Ontario.

📊 Canada is in the middle of an entrepreneurial drought. For the past six quarters, more businesses have closed than opened.
Small businesses are being crushed by high taxes, rising payroll costs, endless red tape, and ballooning government spending, all while giant subsidies flow to multinational corporations. It’s time for the government to walk the talk and support the backbone of our economy.
That’s why we’re calling for clear action: reduce red tape, lower the cost of doing business, and remove barriers to growth!

Earlier today, the CFIB Ontario team celebrated the reduction of the small biz corporate tax rate with Finance Minister @PBethlenfalvy and Small Biz Minister @ninatangri at Low’s Furniture in Uxbridge. Thanks to our host Ashley Low. Low’s has been a member for 48 years.

It was great to join Ontario Finance Minister @PBethlenfalvy & Small Biz Min @ninatangri at CFIB member Low’s Furniture in Uxbridge today to highlight the big cut to Ontario’s small biz corporate tax rate.
“Kudos to the Ontario government for responding to CFIB members’ top priority to lower the Small Business Tax Rate. Our 40,000 members across all sectors and regions of the province have told us they would invest any tax savings in measures like increasing
employee compensation, expanding their operations, and hiring new employees – so it’s a win for businesses, people, and the economy.”

At 3.2%, Ontario’s small business tax rate is among the highest in Canada, with the income threshold frozen at $500,000 for almost 20 years. CFIB is calling on the province to use the remaining $4B in its Protecting Ontario Account to deliver small business tax relief. It is time for change❗
