Alternative Ten Point Plan for Micro, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises: Discussion
2:25 pm
Mr. Ian Talbot:
And we have chambers - which, of course, are small businesses - in every town. The chief executives of all the chambers are equally challenged by the need to build membership, provide services, collecting debts, paying payroll taxes, etc. They are small businesses, they have the experience and we are of the view that they have a great role to play in the context of future economic development.
