The Canadian Federation of Independent Business is pleased with the provinces announcement to incrementally lift business-related restrictions.

While the business organization that represents Canadian small businesses welcomes the province’s decision to lift business-related restrictions by mid-March, it says the government needs a stay open plan to ensure owners can manage the impacts of the pandemic.

 

The CFIB’s provincial affairs director for Manitoba Kathleen Cook explains the last thing they want is to see the return to restrictions at any point in the future.  She says the yo-yo of restrictions over the last couple of years has had a hugely damaging impact on the economy and on our small businesses so they’d like to see government come forward with a plan that will help small businesses stay open and also give small businesses the confidence to make decisions that will help them grow and to hire staff that they know they’re going to be able to keep going forward.

 

Cook adds the CFIB would like to see the government boost consumer confidence in the next few weeks by having messaging that encourages the safe return to dining out, going to the gym or the movies and travelling so that small business can begin to recover.
