The Liberal government has been receiving  a lot of complaints about controversial proposed tax reforms and now the premiers are poised for their turn as they gather in Ottawa to meet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Premiers will get a chance to discuss his proposals to eliminate small business tax provisions the Liberals believe allow some wealthier Canadians to avoid paying their fair share.

The suggested changes have led to an outcry from doctors, farmers, small business owners and even some premiers who fear the effect they would have on their provincial economies.
