Matt Triemstra

Yesterday evening, President & CEO @KHHigginson and Vice President, Federal Affairs, Matt Triemstra (@RCFederalCA) attended the annual Equal Voice Gala, a gala dedicated to improving gender representation in Canadian politics. There, they had the opportunity not only to speak with The Honourable @rechievaldez, Minister of Women and Gender Equality and Secretary of State (Small Business and Tourism), but also to meet with CPC MP @StephanieKusie, NDP MP @LeahGazan, and CPC MP @ScottAAitchison. Thank you for a fabulous evening.

The Restaurants Canada team was excited to meet with MP Gérard Deltell (@gerarddeltell) this week. ________________________________________ L’équipe de Restaurants Canada était ravie de rencontrer le député Gérard Deltell cette semaine. @KHHigginson @RCFederalCA

@MarkJCarney Removing GST/HST from all food should be added to the list! Canadians believe that food should not be taxed. Our research shows this would create jobs, improve food affordability and support restaurants. See @RestaurantsCA press release for more: restaurantscanada.org/federal-partie…

A strong economy is one that serves people. My plan to build our economy is focused on saving Canadians thousands of dollars each year: liberal.ca/mark-carneys-l…

@RestaurantsCA convient que c’est une approche qui a du sens : elle nous a permis de nous remettre sur pied plus rapidement, de minimiser l’impact sur les employés, les employeurs et les organisations qui aident les citoyens. Je @MarkJCarney @PierrePoilievre encourage à s’inspirer de cette proposition

The GST and HST holiday will be a lifeline to the restaurant industry over the slow winter months. Our VP, Federal and Quebec, Maximilien Roy (@RCFederalQC), appeared before the Senate Standing Committee on Finance last week to testify on the importance of this measure on behalf of our industry.

When it comes to affordability, restaurant operators are right there struggling alongside Canadians. This is why we welcome the federal government's temporary GST and HST relief.

So proud of the Restaurants Canada GR Team. Great news for our wonderful members. Love these quotes. @RCWesternCA @RCCentralCA @RCFederalQC @KHHigginson @RestaurantsCA

Payroll taxes, like Employment Insurance (EI) are particularly heavy on small businesses because they are profit insensitive. They also cut deep into employees’ take-home pay, affecting their disposable income. Ottawa, let's lighten the load with lower payroll taxes.

Restaurants Canada urging government to improve affordability Thank you ⁦@RetailInsider_⁩ for bringing attention to this issue. Let’s see the Liberal government show Canadians their listening. ⁦@RestaurantsCA⁩ retail-insider.com/bulletin/2024/…

There are 100,000 restaurants all over Canada that play a vital role in the communities they reside in; from supporting the local economy to providing jobs, to being an integral part of the social fabric of the community. This week and every week, support small businesses #LoveYourLocal #SmallBusinessWeek
