The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce released a 36-page report this week offering a roadmap to improve Saskatchewan's business competitiveness. The report, entitled "Beyond 2020: A Blueprint for Saskatchewan Business Competitiveness," calls on the provincial and federal governments to meet 24 different recommendations, including a review of the entire tax system to make things easier and simpler for business owners and the adoption of a "harmonized sales tax" (HST) that combines both the six per cent PST and five per cent GST into a single sales tax. Chamber CEO Steve McLellan joins John now to discuss the report.
