Dear
There’s an urgent need for the Federal Government to lower the Employment Insurance Premium rate to 1.58%, for small businesses and their employees, from the current rate of 1.66%.
In recent years, Canada’s small businesses have demonstrated remarkable resilience, weathering the storms of economic uncertainty and unprecedented challenges.
The livelihoods of countless employees, especially youth and newcomers, depend on the success of our businesses – in particular, restaurants, construction, and retail. When they struggle, the ripple effects are felt far beyond their doors—impacting suppliers, local economies, and the vibrant communities they help sustain.
Given the bankruptcies and affordability challenges we are seeing today, a reduction in EI premiums would offer relief for small businesses and all taxpayers in your community.
Reducing EI premiums will not only provide disposable income relief for employers and employees but will offer immediate support that will ensure small businesses can continue to operate, boosting consumer confidence and contributing to Canada’s economy.
Sincerely,
