🚨 Recent flooding & severe storms have left many MB businesses & agricultural producers facing significant challenges. CFIB has written to the province seeking clarity on recovery supports, including access to Disaster Financial Assistance & other relief. https://t.co/EysfmZyWrE

The key will be making sure the program is simple, accessible, and works for the employers expected to deliver it—especially small businesses on the ground.

👏A positive step to connect young workers with real experience at a time when youth employment challenges are rising across Canada.

It aligns with CFIB research on the value of work-integrated learning, apprenticeships, & removing barriers so small firms can hire/train youth.

Yesterday, I joined @GlobalWinnipeg to discuss why Manitoba entrepreneurs are concerned about the possibility of employer-paid sick days.

Businesses want clarity & consultation, & they need government to understand the added costs new labour mandates could place on small firms.

As young Manitobans look for work this summer, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business says there is a disconnect.

[Brianna Solberg @briannasolberg]

📺Great to chat live with @ClayYoungNEWS on @globalwinnipeg regarding CFIB’s latest report on youth unemployment. We highlight the disconnect between young job seekers & small businesses, & how we can close the gap & support hiring in today’s economy. https://t.co/K89F07Rj6B

MB’s upcoming PST shift is creating confusion for many small retailers. With only weeks to go until July 1, owners are still looking for answers. CFIB has been raising concerns for months about the lack of clarity & the exclusion of many food service biz'. https://t.co/GdZZQE5FyS

🤝 Great discussion with Manitoba's Minister of Business, Mining, Trade & Job Creation on small business priorities & Manitoba's entrepreneurial drought. We look forward to continuing the conversation on how to create the conditions for small businesses to invest, hire, & grow.

🚧Every construction season, Canada's small firms face the same reality: closed streets, lost foot traffic & months of chaos. CFIB is urging municipalities to introduce construction mitigation plans with clear communication, predictable timelines & support for costs. @CFIBNews

[CFIB Manitoba @cfibMB]

Businesses understand the need for roadwork. No one questions the need to fix roads, water lines and aging infrastructure. But year after year, small businesses feel they are the last to know and first to pay the price — and the costs are significant. https://t.co/X8hJLQfbig

[CFIB Manitoba @cfibMB]

🚧🚨OPINION: Winnipeg’s construction season is becoming a survival test for many small businesses. CFIB is calling for a formal construction mitigation plan as small firms face major disruptions, lost sales, and limited notice during critical seasons. ⬇️ https://t.co/MkWvHyYWnI

Manitoba small business confidence falls again in May. "Demand is weak, costs, especially fuel, are high, and conditions don’t show signs of improving. This environment is not conducive to strong orders or investment.” https://t.co/NLtgp2RPD0

[Brianna Solberg @briannasolberg]

CFIB: Small businesses in Canada struggle to hire young people. “Taking a chance on someone with no experience, especially when training requires considerable time and effort, is simply not feasible in the current climate." https://t.co/Pa7tbBqcJu

Manitoba Jobs Agreement Raising Serious Concerns for Contractors, Says CFIB. https://t.co/Jx2GnzIKUD

[CFIB Manitoba @cfibMB]

🚨FOI documents show Manitoba introduced its Jobs Agreement without analyzing impacts on competition, costs, or timelines, & consultation was limited to unions. Construction associations & CFIB now report massive resistance to bidding on affected projects. https://t.co/bVUr14CqQv

[Winnipeg Sun @winnipegsun]

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business is urging changes to the Manitoba Jobs Agreement to address contractors' concerns about rising costs, excessive regulations, and barriers to bidding on public projects. https://t.co/XqHLmznGzF

[CFIB Manitoba @cfibMB]

👷‍♂️🚧The Manitoba Jobs Agreement is raising serious concerns for MB contractors. CFIB has issued an open letter to government, calling for practical amendments to improve fairness, competition & project affordability. https://t.co/UnB6gECdah

🛍️🐾This week, during Women's Entrepreneurship Week, I visited Carly at House of Paws to talk about running a small business.

Women entrepreneurs are helping keep our communities strong, especially during Canada’s entrepreneurial drought. #SmallBusinessEveryday @CFIBNews
