Ontario Chamber of Commerce Urges Federal Government to Tear Down Trade Barriers
The Ontario Chamber of Commerce has submitted its budget recommendations to the federal government ahead of the November budget release.
A competitive business and trade environment is a top priority, according to the chamber. The Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce president, La-Na Fragomeni, stated:
“What’s going to be most important is what is in the actual budget next week,”
The budget comes at a time of economic uncertainty due to the ongoing global trade war and the federal Liberal government's inability to reach a trade deal with the United States, particularly one that protects the steel, aluminum, and auto industries.
The Ontario Chamber's recommendations aim to address these challenges and create a more favorable business environment.
