A majority of small business owners surveyed in Saskatchewan by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) say they feel the Saskatchewan government has a vision that supports entrepreneurship.

In fact, 79 per cent in Saskatchewan stated this. That's compared to 56 per cent of small business owners in B.C. and 44 per cent in Alberta. Only 21 per cent of small businesses surveyed in Manitoba felt their government was supportive.

Many (89 per cent) of small business owners surveyed in Saskatchewan say they would be likely to recommend starting a business here.
