Ontario Easing Covid-19 Rules, But Are People Still Too 'Traumatized' To Go Out And Spend?
According to the CBC, Ontario business leaders are cheering the government's latest easing of COVID-19 restrictions but some say it's going to take more to convince a wary public that it's safe to return to old spending habits.
"Governments and public health officials have scared the public to stay home. We've had messages for two straight years saying leaving your house may mean that you die," said Dan Kelly, president and CEO of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
Kelly says the provincial government's latest policy shifts are a positive sign and that the province is "starting the pathway to recovery of small business."
