Established in 1971, CFIB is now the largest independent business advocacy organization in Canada and works hard on behalf of their 109,000 members to improve the entrepreneurial environment across the country. Some examples of CFIB successes at the federal level include:

  • Helping all independent business owners plan for their retirement by fighting for and achieving the $800,000 small business capital gains exemption
  • Ensuring business owners keep more of their retained earnings by achieving lower small business corporate tax rates
  • Establishing the Code of Conduct for the credit and debit card industry, which gives you leverage when dealing with your payment processor.

Shareholder CFIB Membership

For uniPHARM shareholders that have joined or renewed their CFIB membership within 90 days preceding September 1, 2017 will be refunded their CFIB membership fee on a prorated basis. Currently sixteen shareholders are members.

Each shareholder will be issued an individual CFIB membership number; this number will be sent to each shareholder along with a welcome note from CFIB president Dan Kelly. To access the CFIB website as a member you will need your CFIB Member ID and a password which is the first 3 characters of your postal code where you receive CFIB mailing.
