Federal Advocacy

Our organization, in collaboration with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, has maintained a responsive and progressive advocacy program to advance issues of concern to decision makers in Ottawa.

Our priority federal issues include:

• Competitive tax and regulatory regimes

• Infrastructure to meet the demands of growing urban and rural centres across Canada
• Fiscal restraint, particularly on federal government programs
• Workforce development and support for job training

In collaboration with our community partners, our Chamber also successfully lobbied for federal financial assistance related to the local rapid transit initiative.
