Canadian small business confidence falls in April

OTTAWA -(MarketWatch)
Canadian small business confidence fell in April for the first time since last August
The Business Barometer Index, compiled by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, declined 1.3 points to 66.4, erasing most of the big gain in March, the group said Wednesday
"For the most part, overall survey findings still point to stable business conditions and a modestly growing economy," Ted Mallett, chief economist and vice-president of the CFIB, said in a report
"The outlooks for business owners both by sector and by region show very little relative change in April, which is also another sign of general stability."
