Yes, our members are in retail; so small mom and pop shops. Our members are small construction companies. Our members are also in agriculture. Our members are in wholesale, manufacturing. Our members are in the hospitality sectors. Seventy per cent of our members are businesses with under 10 employees. CFIB represents the smallest of the smallest. In the last few years when there were strikes at the Port of Montreal and the B.C. ports, we have seen this having an incredible impact on many of those businesses not being able to receive their goods or to ship out their products or goods. CFIB is worried about this bill—and again, we represent those small businesses that we all have in our communities, serving our people and employing our people as well.
