Why businesses feel let down by banks, governments

A new survey from Equifax Canada found that 68 per cent of small business owners feel confident that their business will recover in 2022. Despite that confidence, many report feeling unsupported by both banks and governments. Of the 300 small business owners surveyed, 52 per cent said they have not felt supported by banks. Another 62 per cent said they did not feel supported by the government.

On this episode of Crisis Management, Alicja Siekierska and the Public Policy Forum’s Sean Speer discuss why business owners have felt unsupported by banks and governments through the pandemic.
