Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business released a damning report, saying that Canada is now in an “entrepreneurial drought”, with more businesses closing than opening for six straight quarters. More than half of small business owners “would not recommend starting a business” in this country, and there are now 100,000 fewer entrepreneurs than we had 20 years ago. Most damning is that 73% of survey respondents indicated a lack of confidence in this Liberal government.
