Yesterday the CFIB admitted that, in fact, small businesses that qualify for the 2012 hiring credit will still see their EI rates go up by a full 7¢ in 2012 over what they paid last year. Would you agree with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and support an amendment that would effectively freeze EI rates for small businesses at the 2010 level? Notwithstanding the credit, EI rates are still going up even for small businesses that qualify.
On November 7th, 2012. See this statement in context.
