The CFIB welcomes the Manitoba government’s reopening plan, though it is hoping the province releases more details leading up to July 1st so independent businesses can be better prepared.
Jonathan Alward, a regional director with the federation, says they’ve been pushing the province to come up with a reopening plan so businesses can have more clarity on what they can expect in the future.
Alward states the while the CFIB agrees with the metrics of going by vaccination rates, the plan itself is lacking details.
He explains while the province will hopefully be reopen at 25 per cent by Canada Day, the plan doesn’t provide specifics on factors such as capacity both indoors and outdoors for patio seating in restaurants and the one person per household limit in establishments.
Alward goes on to say the CFIB is working with the province to ensure that information can get to businesses in advance so that they can prepare for the reopening.
