Tell corporate headquarter's to get their money of off shore tax shelters and to invest in Canadian workers and products. You cried for tax cuts and the Chamber is the biggest lobby group on North America do you part for the "COMMUNITY"
Big Business has socked away most of its earnings. According to the Gandalf Group, which tracks corporate cash reserves, the accumulation has now surpassed half a trillion dollars. To put that amount in perspective, it would almost wipe out Canada’s $602-billion debt. It would cover the nation’s public health bill for the next 3 1/2 years.
• Business leaders ignored pleas from Flaherty and his colleagues to invest in innovation. Despite tax incentives and credible evidence that everyone would benefit, Canada continues to have one of the lowest levels of industrial research and development in the western world.

• They turned a deaf ear to Flaherty’s exhortations to take advantage of record low interest rates and Canada’s strong dollar to upgrade their plants and invest in state-of-the-art equipment while Europe and the United States are mired in debt.

• They shrugged off Ottawa’s entreaties to hire and train Canadian job-seekers, insisting they needed a greater influx of foreign workers to address labour shortages.

In short, they have contributed little to the health of the Canadian economy, especially since the recession.

They could afford to thumb their noses at the government as long as there were no consequences. Flaherty made it easy. Regardless of their behaviour, he gave them tax cuts, praised them for generating economic growth, followed their recommendations and watched passively as they squirreled away billions
Someone needs to get Flaherty into the 21st century trickle down and tax cuts do not work that money is most likely off shore and not even taxed at all.
