AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Financing and Costs: The Bank of Canada’s rate hike to 2.5% could squeeze small firms with floating-rate debt and make investment harder, CFIB warns. Calgary businesses also face steep water-rate increases from 2027 to 2030. Business Outlook: CFIB says most Alberta small-business owners plan to exit within 10 years, while cost and tax pressures are holding many firms back from expanding. Growth and Trade: Ottawa’s $1.75-billion venture-capital plan aims to strengthen startup and growth financing. A new Canada-UAE trade agreement promises lower tariffs and better market access, potentially opening doors for Canadian exporters. Hiring Support: Canada Summer Jobs 2027 applications are open to employers in Perth–Wellington.
