CFIB members have identified several advantages to operating a business in Atlantic Canada. They
include the ability to balance work and family life, the region's proximity to the U.S. market, and the
perceived lower cost of living relative to other parts of Canada. Atlantic Canada also offers a highly
skilled and educated workforce, with some of the lowest turnover and absenteeism rates in the
country.
