| Description | A coalition of B.C. business groups denounced NDP Leader Carole James on Tuesday and called the party's economic platform a disaster for small business in the province.
The long-term impact of the NDP's economic plan will mean higher costs for entrepreneurs, higher prices for consumers and fewer jobs, said the coalition's John Winter, whose group comprises organizations representing hotels, restaurants, homebuilders and retailers.
"The single biggest factor is the minimum-wage increase being pushed by the NDP and their partners from big labour," Winter said Tuesday.
"In the middle of the biggest economic downturn in a generation, they just don't care about adding what is estimated to be $450 million to the bottom lines of businesses that are already struggling to survive." |
