Under the leadership of the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, and the Honourable Bardish Chagger, Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister of Small Business and Tourism, the Government is committed to supporting the success and growth of Canadian MSMEs.
