The Canadian Federation of Independent Business is, once again, calling on municipalities in Saskatchewan to compensate businesses for disruptions because of roadwork construction. The federation says, while infrastructure upgrades are good news for growth, the projects can have the unintended consequence of negatively impacting small businesses in the area. The CFIB says Montreal has become the first municipality in the country to announce compensation for such impact. The federation also would like to see municipalities adopt a coherent mitigation policy that includes a comprehensive planning approach, an improved contracting process, and a business liaison officer for each project.
