Minister of State Bernier Speaks to Orléans Entrepreneurs<br />

The Honourable Maxime Bernier, Minister of State (Small <strong>Business</strong><br />

and Tourism) met with small business members of the Orléans<br />

Chamber of Commerce at their Annual General Meeting.<br />

He underscored the work of Canadian entrepreneurs and highlighted<br />

the measures contained in the Harper Government's Economic<br />

Action Plan 20<strong>13</strong> that support small and medium-sized<br />

enterprises.<br />

"Entrepreneurs in Orléans and across <strong>Canada</strong> need the right conditions<br />

in place for businesses to succeed," said Minister of State<br />

Bernier. "That's why our government is reducing red tape, opening<br />

new markets and keeping taxes low, while balancing the<br />

budget by 2015."<br />

During the meeting, the Minister of State highlighted the next<br />

steps the Harper Government would take to build on its low-tax<br />

and growth-friendly policies. Economic Action Plan 20<strong>13</strong> is delivering<br />

for small business entrepreneurs by proposing to extend<br />

and expand the Hiring Credit for Small <strong>Business</strong>, increasing the<br />

Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption and aligning job training with<br />

the needs of employers.<br />
