CFIB Stay Open Plan

With four out of five business owners in Manitoba concerned more COVID-19 lockdowns could impact their business in the fall, the CFIB is calling on Canada’s premiers to adopt a Stay Open plan.

 

Prairies Director Jonathan Alward states 87 per cent of business owners say they want their provincial government to develop a stay open strategy so that businesses can still operate during the next waves of the pandemic.

 

Alward says stay open plans should include attention to hospitalization rates as opposed to case counts, more use of rapid testing, proof of vaccination, and direct provincial funding in place prior to announcing additional restrictions.

 

The announcement of the plan comes as surges of the Delta variant continue to rise in Western Canada, with Chief Public Health Officer Doctor Teresa Tam stating the country is now in the fourth wave of the pandemic.
