Thank you, Premier Smith, for listening to Alberta's small business community!
Fuel costs remain the second-largest cost constraint facing small businesses, according to CFIB's Business Barometer. Suspending the fuel tax will provide welcome relief at the pump.
Since July, 661 Alberta small business owners signed CFIB's petition after being left out of the Alberta Energy Rebate. Today's announcement shows those concerns were heard. #ABPoli #SmallBusiness
Global uncertainty continues to push energy prices higher, and that’s putting more pressure on Albertans’ wallets.
Today I announced that relief is on the way. Starting Oct. 1, Alberta will suspend the full provincial fuel tax, saving Albertans 13 cents per litre on gasoline and diesel every time they fill up until the end of the year. This is practical relief that helps families, workers and businesses keep more money in their pockets.
Albertans already pay the lowest overall taxes in Canada, and this cut adds to our unmatched tax advantage.
“Canada will not be broken.”!
For CFIB member Marty Richards of Imperial Productions, those words reflect the determination of Canadian small businesses navigating the ongoing Canada-U.S. trade war.
With tariffs and counter-tariffs putting significant pressure on small businesses across the country, owners like Marty are adapting, pushing forward, and continuing to build here at home.

Today, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) released its Ontario Small Business Municipal Platform that includes 11 Things Ontario Municipalities Should Do for Small Businesses to reduce red tape, alleviate construction impacts, offer tariff relief, make business property taxes affordable, and protect business tax dollars.
An impressive 88% of small business owners told us they will vote in the Ontario municipal elections on October 26. Their top campaign issues are reducing municipal red tape and finding municipal savings.
