Mainstream Canada _ A breath of fresh air across the land by W. ROGER WORTH Somehow, many Canadians discount small business. They tend to think of the little companies and_ in- dividuals that produce, buy, sell, import, export and market products as being small timers. Nothing could be far- ther from the truth. A few well chosen thoughts may help dispel such drivel: . The major depart- ment store chains have been laying off employees, downgrading service and cutting costs as they attempt to maintain profit levels or limit losses. The reason? Smaller firms with top- notch service have been openly competing with the conglomerates on price, quality and service. The nation's big manufacturers have for years been paring staff and eliminating Cana- dian employment, par- ticularly during the recession. Yet big com- panies such as Chrysler, Massey-Ferguson, Maislin Transport and a great many other con- glomerates easily Ac- cepted government sub- sidies and support to off- set huge losses. Indeed, many of the companies actually fought for the taxpayer dollars. Meanwhile, smaller firms that were forced into bankruptcy or receivership got little support from governments.

The deadline for all nominations is May 15, 1984. _ Suddenly, though, over the last year or so the bureaucrats and politicians who had little time for small business have been forced to change their ways. The reason: a study by the 64,000-member Cana- dian Federation of In- dependent Business in- dicated that all the country's net new jobs were being created by smaller firms. The in- formation was backed by respected economists and other business organizations. The effect of the new information? Politi- cians asked bureaucrats whether it was true, and the mandarins were forced to concur. So, gradually, the politi- cians started to ask for policies that would let them spend money on the small business job creators, rather than bailing out their big business counterparts. Among the sudden policy shifts: - . In its latest budget, Newfoundland lowered ~ the provincial corporate tax on smaller firms to 10 per cent from 12 per cent. . British Columbia has set up a task force to investigate the detrimental effects of payroll and other taxes on small companies. . Saskatchewan in- creased the corporate 'tax on large companies, while maintaining a lesser level of taxation for smaller firms. In ad- dition, the provincial government announced plans to provide a varie- ty of other programs that will help the pro- vince's small firms. In Ontario, the government continues its corporate tax holiday for smaller firms. . In Nova Scotia, a sectorial study outlines the problems faced by . smaller firms, and assistance will hopeful- ly be forthcoming. . In Alberta, there are no major tax increases for the sector. . The federal govern- ment also seems to have gone out of its way to be more even-handed with the million or more firms that are involved. . What's more impor- tant than anything, perhaps, is the fact that more governments now seem to recognize that our smaller companies are not only important, but the key to a more prosperous, full- employment future.
