KEY ISSUES - Red Tape.mov

SME Roundtable Forum
Ottawa, ON
Wednesday, June 9, 2010

While regulatory harmonization is a laudable advocacy goal for the SME sector, the issue will continue to be a challenge given the complexities of Canada's various levels of government. What is needed is the political will among government leaders, legislators, and public servants to introduce necessary change.

Government ought to draw on private sector expertise to help devise strategies and tactics that aim to benefit SMEs, while reducing waste, red tape, and regulatory inefficiencies.

CGA Canada has a leadership role to play in gathering, analyzing, and sharing with its many stakeholders, statistical data relating to the impact of regulations on SMEs. This can help shape the development of key messages that will fuel both government advocacy and public information initiatives that span conventional inter-organizational lines.
