Business numbers down in May
Statistics Canada reported this morning there were slightly fewer active businesses (down 0.1 per cent or 1,208 businesses) across the country in May compared with a month earlier, marking the first time since May 2020 that the number of closures outpaced openings. The number of business openings decreased by 11.5 per cent, the largest percentage decrease since December 2018 and the second consecutive month with negative growth. The number of business closures declined by 2.9 per cent, following a 2.5 per cent increase in April. Reopenings declined in May (down 8.2 per cent), no doubt due to the continuing third wave of the pandemic this May, said the agency.
