34 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday May 17, 2006 BUSINESS IN OAKVILLE Halton is first Ontario location for BizPal The Honourable Maxime Bernier, Minister of Industry, announced the launch of BizPaL in Halton Region. BizPaL is an innovative project designed to help Canadian businesses save time when accessing licensing and permit information from multiple levels of government. This unique partnership between federal, provincial, territorial, regional and municipal governments provides entrepreneurs and business people in Halton Region and the towns of Halton Hills and Milton with simplified access to the information they need to launch or grow their businesses. "Canada's new government is proud to be a partner in the new BizPaL initiative -- a service that will speed up the licensing and permit processes for businesses and entrepreneurs," said Minister Bernier. "By working with the Province of Ontario, the Town of Halton Hills and the Town of Milton, we are launching a very useful technological initiative that will simplify government paperwork processes." "We are pleased to participate in this important initiative supporting Ontario businesses," said Gerry Phillips, Ontario Minister of Government Services. "This is one more example of how we are partnering with other governments to make it easier for Ontarians to find information and access services." Business owners and entrepreneurs can access the service from municipal websites http://www.halton.ca, http://www.haltonhills.ca and http://www.milton.ca. Based on the responses to a number of interactive questions on the nature and location of the business, the online service generates a customized list of required government permits and licenses. The list includes basic information about the permits and licenses, the order in which they should be obtained, contact information and, in some cases, links to begin the application process. The BizPaL system was developed by Industry Canada in partnership with the Government of Ontario and Halton Region. It is offered in Halton through the collaborative efforts of the Region, the Town of Halton Hills and the Town of Milton. The City of Burlington and the Town of Oakville are preparing to offer BizPaL in 2006. Other participants in the BizPaL project are British Columbia and the City of Kamloops; Saskatchewan and the City of Saskatoon; and Yukon with the municipalities of Carmacks, Dawson City, Faro, Haines Junction, Mayo, Teslin, Watson Lake and Whitehorse.
