Expanding immediate expensing and making it permanent has been a long-standing CFIB ask. The productivity mega-deduction permanent doesn't yet cover all investments, but this will help many businesses invest, grow and improve productivity.

Wild to see this story after everything that happened last week.
New Brunswick may not want U.S. liquor, but it seems it doesn't want Canadian liquor either unless it's made in NB. An $11K order becoming a $25K order because of provincial markups is exactly what an internal tariff looks like.
We should be supporting Canadian producers, not penalizing them for selling across provincial borders. This needs to stop.
