of Independent Business,
which has naturally taken a
great deal_of interest in this

in Europe, small business
is generally defined.as an en-

financially, independent.;

‘The Canadian govern-
merit, meanwhile, is playing
with ‘a.definition based on
the number of employees.
That's the kind of definition

that causes doctors to diag- *-
