-- 加拿大独立企业联合会 (CFIB) 的一项最新研究显示，加拿大连续六个季度倒闭的企业数量超过新开业的企业数量，超过半数 (55%) 的小企业主表示，他们现在不会建议别人创业。 CFIB 在周三发布的一份报告中指出，自 2024 年初以来，加拿大一直处于创业“低迷期”，即企业倒闭数量持续超过新企业成立数量。 CFIB 补充道，高昂的成本、繁文缛节和劳动力短缺等问题阻碍了新一代企业家的创业热情，因此，扭转加拿大的创业低迷局面必须被视为国家经济的优先事项。 CFIB 草原和北部地区主管布里安娜·索尔伯格 (Brianna Solberg) 表示：“我们不能让经济中的雄心壮志被监管扼杀。当超过半数的小企业主告诉你他们不会建议别人创业时，我们就应该认真听取他们的意见。”
