LOCKDOWN A KICK IN THE TEETH TO SMALL BUSINESS

Meanwhile, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) said Thursday it wants all governments to look at alternatives to lockdowns and increased financial support for small businesses as several provinces move to tougher restrictions.

“Small businesses are tired of being a scapegoat for the Ontario government’s lack of planning or foresight,“ said Ryan Mallough, CFIB director of provincial affairs for Ontario, in a statement.

CFIB president Dan Kelly says the first two shutdowns were devastating, with one in six businesses considering permanent closure.
