I appreciated the opportunity to connect with Minister of Energy and Mines Lloyd Parrott to discuss the latest CFIB March Business Barometer® results and the ongoing pressures facing small businesses across Newfoundland and Labrador. Our conversation focused on practical steps government can take to provide meaningful relief and support business confidence during a challenging period. With Budget 2026 on the horizon, small business owners will be looking for action that addresses rising costs and helps create a more stable operating environment.

Small business owners across Canada are calling on governments to move quickly to strengthen the country’s domestic energy supply, according to new preliminary data from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). An overwhelming majority (90%) of small businesses say governments should prioritize increasing Canada’s energy production and capacity to better support the economy and ensure businesses have reliable access to the energy they need to operate. cfib-fcei.ca/en/media/small…

Unnecessary red tape example 1000.
Aaron Hector, R.F.P., CFP, TEP@AaronHectorCFP

Remember last year when CRA providing filing and payment extensions as a result of the capital gain inclusion rate change that never happened? Trusts (T3 returns) had an extension to May 1 (normal deadline is March 31) if a capital disposition was reported on the return. Well, I just had a client receive a Notice of Assessment finally in late Feb 2026 (!!!) for the T3 that was filed in April 2025 (before the May 1 extension date). The payment was remitted in late April, also before the May 1 extension date (but later than the typical filing deadline). Of course, arrears interest is on the assessment because the payment was "late". It took 1 hour and 1 minute on a phone call with CRA to get them to admit that the arrears interest should not have been levied.... but we couldn't request the reversal on the phone. We now need to complete form RC4288 to formally request the interest be reversed. Then upload it to CRA... then wait for the determination and result. Sharing in case this helps someone else.

While we are relieved that no injuries have been reported, we know the emotional and financial impact will be significant for all involved.

We’re pleased to see red tape reduction raised in this week’s Speech from the Throne - a priority long championed by CFIB. We urge government to reinstate and strengthen the Regulatory Accountability and Reporting Act, a vital tool to ensure transparency and accountability for small businesses. “Our government will also take meaningful action to reduce the red-tape burden that leaves too many organizations spending too much time focused on paperwork and not enough time focused on the people they serve.” – 2026 NL Speech from the Throne #RedTapeReduction #NLPoli #SmallBiz #Accountability #Transparency
