Liberal on Spring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act 2026-05-01

34 words · 2 sentences · 2 clauses

Replying to Carol Anstey (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, I would just like to point out some financial indicators we have right now, particularly as they pertain to small business. The CFIB has said that for six quarters in a row, we have had more small businesses closing down than are starting up. It has described us as being in an “entrepreneurial drought”. About 55% of entrepreneurs are saying they do not suggesting opening a business. How do the Liberals square that with their economic update?”
