The latest survey done by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business is showing that Saskatchewan small and medium sized business owners are the most optimistic that they have ever been

Marilyn Braun-Pollon is the Director of Provincial Affairs for the CFIB says we can't be satisfied with where we are. "I guess when you look at the data we have to realize while Saskatchewan is ahead of every other province, we are still well behind the level of optimism in Alberta and BC. We always have to look at our competitive challenges, how are we doing and what policies can the government put into place that would make us that much more competitive."

Braun-Pollon says the provincial budget was a start but the group still has other issues they will bring fourth to the government to make sure our province continues to ensure we have a competitive environment for our small businesses.
