MEDIA ADVISORY - CEBA press conference: CFIB available to comment


TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2023 /CNW/ - Jasmin Guenette, Vice-President of National Affairs at the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), will be available tomorrow morning to comment on the recent changes to Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA). Guenette will be available to answer media questions during and after a press conference held by the Bloc Quebecois in Ottawa.
