There has been a statement that legal claim that compensation can not be granted for any financial losses to businesses, but merchants are trying to challenge this by appearing in court. The article mentions a survey, the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses (CFIB) survey, which points out that 74 percent of businesses on Cambie Street reported significant decreases in sales and this does not include those who went bankrupt. The other side is displayed through Alan Denver, who is the Canada Line’s director of communications, as he talks about how the corporation is doing as much as they can within the law to help the businesses in the area. One of the business owners, Susan Heyes, who did everything in her power to keep her store running claims that the most that has been done to help are some ineffective workshops set up to help businesses cope. Whichever side of the story is displayed, this article makes it clear how persistent the businesses are to receive real compensation for their losses and make a fair arrangement to deal with the situation. http://thethunderbird.ca/2007/10/25/cambie-merchants-battle-for-compensation/ [...] [...] Cambie Merchants Battle for Compensation Amanda Stutt describes the struggle that businesses are facing to gain compensation for losses due to Canada Line construction.
