Calgary Chamber of Commerce wants Alberta to scrap Alberta 's 2-per-cent small business tax.

The Alberta government says it's “proud” to maintain its corporate and small-business tax rates.

In August , the government projected it will end the year with a $2.6-billion surplus, largely thanks to higher-than-expected oil prices.
