Next - business owners across Canada are now racing to prepare for the Federal governments two-month GST break, all while juggling the demands of their busiest sales season. We spoke with Dan Kelly, President of the ‘Canadian Federation of Independent Business’ who explained why retailers aren’t as excited about the ‘GST Holiday’ - as consumers are. Have your kids sent off their letters to Santa yet?
