Federal cabinet minister Maxime Bernier told d\u00e9panneur owners who gathered in Laval, Nov. 14, that the Canadian government plans to come to the rescue of small business owners who are suffocating in red tape. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn consultations across the country, they identified more than 2,300 irritants that plague businesses day in and day out,\u201d he said in his remarks to Association qu\u00e9b\u00e9coisee des d\u00e9panneurs en alimentation<\/i> members. <\/p>\n

\u201cHenceforth, regulatory agencies will have to cut a rule every time that they want to introduce one that places a new burden on businesses,\u201d Bernier promised. \u201cSmall business is at the heart of Canada’s entrepreneurial spirit.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\nHe said that 90 new reforms that will affect 18 federal agencies. <\/p>\n

\u201cRegulators will have to put themselves in the shoes of small business owners every time that they propose a regulation.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThey need to ask themselves whether the information what they’re requesting has already been gathered by another ministry; whether it’s possible to implement a less demanding regulation; and whether they’re communicating in a clear and straightforward fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n
