The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is a non-partisan, non-profit organization representing the interests of over 105,000 owners of small- and medium-sized businesses across Canada. Since 1971, CFIB has been giving small firms a big voice in the public arena.

Best known for high-profile actions with governments on policies like tax, labour laws and public sector spending, CFIB has also achieved many behind-the-scenes changes that have meant real dollars-and-cents benefits to all firms. For example, persistent CFIB lobbying was instrumental in achieving the capital gains exemption, the small business reduced corporate tax rate, and beneficial changes to the Bankruptcy Act, the Small Business Loans Act and RRSP rules.

The NACCB Canada provides education and awareness on public policy issues that impact the IT Services industry in Canada. As well, the NACCB Canada represents the interests of its members to policymakers to ensure that legislation does not inhibit the growth of the IT Services industry. The National Association of Computer Consulting Businesses Canada (NACCB Canada) is a made-in-Canada Association that represents IT services firms on Canadian public policy issues. The NACCB Canada was created in November of 1999 by four IT services organizations that recognized the need to combine forces to deal specifically with the threat of retail sales tax being applied to IT services in Ontario. It was also recognized that legislators did not understand how the IT services industry operated and the annual revenues it represented. It was clear that there was a need to increase awareness about the industry and its contribution to the economy.
