Quebec Provincial Election 2022
What will the next government do to support your business?
We are always working with the government on the issues that affect you. We will make sure to remind the parties of their promises to support SMEs and promote a thriving economy.

Thousands of businesses were forced to shut their doors for good – and many more could suffer the same fate. To ensure the sustainability of SMEs, political parties must put your priorities at the forefront of their platform.

CFIB Election Platform for Québec
To ensure that SMEs are a priority for the next government, we made an election platform that brings together our key areas of focus to support SMEs.
Party Leaders’ Survey
With the upcoming fall election, CFIB asked the party leaders to answer a set of questions based on the priorities of SME owners like you. This will allow us to keep the elected party accountable for their promises to SMEs. Available in French only.

CFIB’s election commitment
Since its founding in 1971, CFIB has been a strictly non-partisan organization. The Federation works with all parties and proposes ideas that support the growth of Canada’s small business sector. Based on extensive survey data outlining the views of our 95,000 members, CFIB criticizes bad policy and commends good policy, regardless of the party from which it comes.
During the 2022 Quebec Election Campaign:
- We will NEVER endorse any political party or candidate.
- We will NEVER tell our members how to vote.
- We will voice the concerns and priorities of independent business owners.
- Based on our member surveys, we will put forward measures to help small business succeed and present them to all political parties.
- We will compliment small business-friendly policy ideas from any political party.
- We will criticize harmful small business policy ideas from any political party.
- We will survey party leaders on their commitments to small business and share their responses with our members.
- We will work with any elected government and with all opposition parties.
This is our election commitment.
