Ms. Corinne Pohlmann (Vice-President, National Affairs, Canadian Federation of Independent Business) at the Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Committee

Thank you, and good afternoon.

Thank you for the opportunity to be here to present the perspective of CFIB on Bill C-56.

Over the next few minutes, I'm going to walk you through a slide deck, which you should have a copy of.

You should also have a copy of a report called A Nation of Entrepreneurs, which uses census data to explore the prevalence of self-employment in Canada.
