On the last provincial red tape report card, Manitoba scored a D.

Speaking at the Thompson Chamber AGM Wednesday night, CFIB Director for Manitoba, Elliot Sims talks about these red tape regulations.

He says Manitoba's PST regulation is burdensome. There are 62 tax bulletins, each one going through numerours  pages of how and when to collect those taxes. He says this makes it difficult for a small business owner.

Red tape discourages people from starting their own small business.

Sims says the provincial government needs to look at the number of regulations business owners are faced with, and then look at reducing that number in order to boost economy.
