Opposition by business is not coming from real concern but by being whipped up by those benefitting from tax avoidance startegies like accountants, tax specialists and big business; Chamber of Commerce has never really been a supporter of small, only big business and the Federation of Small Businesses has never seen a tax it doesn't like. Employees get tax breaks for RRSPs and TFsa's. there is no reason why business with their already lower rates should qualify for even bigger and better breaks. Instead they should contribute toward general civilisation like everyone else!
