CFIB:

Mission Statement

CFIB has been a big voice for small business for 35 years with 105,000+ members nationwide in every sector. Taking our direction from CFIB Members, through regular surveys, we lobby for small- and medium-sized businesses at the federal, provincial and local levels of government.

Since 1971 the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) has been giving small firms a big voice in the public arena. If you own and operate your own business and are looking for ways to help it prosper, then CFIB can be of service.

Best known for high-profile actions with governments on policies like tax, labour laws and public sector spending, we have also achieved many behind-the-scenes changes that have meant real dollars-and-cents benefits to all firms. For example, persistent CFIB lobbying was instrumental in achieving the capital gains exemption, the small business reduced corporate tax rate, and beneficial changes to the Bankruptcy Act, the Small Business Loans Act and RRSP rules.See the website for more information at www.cfib.ca.
