With 109,000 members across Canada, including 4,800 in Manitoba, our members are located in every region of the province, with drversitv in activity that closely parallels that of the overall economy. Most businesses in Canada are small businesses. A thriving small business sector is essential for creating jobs, providing vital goods and services, and supporting local charities. In addition. small businesses add to the ambience, friendliness and culture of our communities. From time to time, members call upon CFIB for help in dealing with specific issues impacting their businesses. Our members north of Arborg have serious concerns over the poor condition of local roadways and the province's unresponsiveness to their request for upgrades. These manufacturing businesses are essential to the growth and vitality of the area. For many years they have created hundreds of jobs, contributed tax revenues to all levels of government, produced goods that are exported all over the world and generated millions to Manitoba's economy. Their owners are community leaders. It is our understanding a group consisting of the Town of Arborg, the Rural Municipality of Bifrost, the Arborg-Bifrost Community Development Corporation and the Okno Business Association has lobbied for a number of years for change.
