Part of the Liberal spending spree includes $2.2 billion in tax relief for small businesses over five years.
Martine Hébert, vice-president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, joined senior anchor Jamie Orchard to talk about the impact it will have on small businesses in Quebec.
Concordia University receives $10M donation
Their story began in the halls of Concordia University nearly 50 years ago, and now Jonathan and Susan Wener are paying it forward.
The Montreal couple is making a $10 million donation to the university to establish a centre for real estate in the John Molson School of Business.
The chairman and CEO of property development firm, Canderel, and his wife — a best selling author and natural health consultant, both say Concordia played a pivotal role in their lives.
The couple dropped by Focus Montreal studios to share their story.
