opinion Editor: Scott Anderson Group Publisher: Michael J. Hertz Small businesses need tax fairness, innovation and training support in 2018 federal budget, CFIB

CFIB Fairer tax measures and incentives for innovation and youth hiring are at the top of small business owners’ priorities for the upcoming federal budget, submitted by the Canadian Federa- tion of Independent Business (CFIB). “With tax season rapidly approaching, Canadian small busi- ness owners are telling us that the government’s proposed tax changes are still top of mind. There is not enough clarity on the new income-sprinkling rules, and we remain concerned that the proposed passive rules will hurt owners’ ability to save and re- invest in their business,” said Dan Kelly, CFIB’s president. “We’re urging the government to listen to the Senate’s recommenda- tions and put off implementing any tax changes until they fully analyze the impacts of these changes on the economy.” It is especially critical that Canada support its small busi- nesses to remain competitive as the United States introduces business-friendly tax reforms. CFIB is calling for the government to help spur innovation and productivity in the small business sector by introducing an expense deduction for investments in new technology or equip- ment, similar to a $1,000,000 deduction that is already available contact us The Southwest Booster welcomes letters on matters of public interest for publica- to small firms in the United States. tion over the writer’s name.

BRONCOS Broncos rev up offense during three straight wins STEVEN MAH SOUTHWEST BOOSTER

The Swift Current Broncos scored at least five goals in three straight victories in as many days to reach the 40-win plateau over the weekend. Friday, the Broncos scored four goals in the opening per- iod to defeat the visiting Prince Albert Raiders 5-1. Glenn Gawdin opened the scoring only 22 seconds into regulation when the Bron- cos captain fired a shot five- hole for his 45th goal. Gawdin added his second of the game midway through the period when he wired home a top cor- ner shot on a two-on-one rush. Giorgio Estephan added a third goal only 14 seconds later on a beautiful set-up from Beck Malenstyn. Estephan returned the favor minutes later when he sent an equally perfect pass to Malenstyn for a power play tip in for a 4-0 lead after one period. The two teams traded goals in the middle stanza beginning with Kaden Elder’s 13th of the season 1:43 into the period. Stuart Skinner made 29 saves in the win.
