small businessmen Stevens says small businessmen are under heavier pressure than ever in their ef forts to exist as viable entrepreneurs While tax concessions do help Stevens says less government regulations would be tonic for the small businessmen Also consideration should be given to assisting smaller firms in the formation of consortia which would enable them to bet ter compete with large firms Stevens says Small businessmen are also adverselydat fected by the federal and provincial gh minimum wage laws which have con tributed to the lack of com titiveness for small businessmen The eral minimum wage of $285 an hour compares to US minimum wage of $230 It would be wise for federal and rovin cial authorities to freeze any furt in creases in our minimum wa es until the Americans at least catch up tevens says In criticizing Canadas business policies Stevens says this countrys export financ ing which is in the billions of dollars has become private preserve of few con oerns We have lost our balance in Canada bet ween bi corporations and those not so big It must regained so that the traditional in nuity inventiveness and entrepreneur of small businessmen can once again
