Description: It was a beautiful day in Fredericton Saturday. But Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau might have wished he was outdoors enjoying that sunny weather as opposed to being in front of an audience at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, an audience upset about his Liberal government’s planned tax changes that will impact entrepreneurs, farmers and professionals. Morneau stated that the government was listening, but yet committed to its current approach.

Discussion Points:

1) How do you think the government has been doing at the job of selling its tax program?

2)  If you were advising the Finance Minister, Mr. Morneau, what strategy do you think you would advise?

3)  Do you think the rising volume of protest will prompt changes in the government’s plans?
