As a 2–time enterpreneur. These would be the areas to focus on:
- Tax credits for angel investment and strategic investments in SMEs
- Strengthen the SRED program by providing a counterpart to encourage spending on business development and sales
- Make the government a reference customer for SMEs which is essential in security and defense as US wants Cdn govt in first
- Leverage the B in IRB Offsets with major US Defense Companies for the benefit of growing ICT and SMEs in Canada
- Match the OIDMTC with a federal portion to encourage digital media but have it pay in 6 weeks rather than 6 months!
- Talk to enterpreneurs as they live the battle daily!
