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.
The Chamber is calling for priorities that will create a competitive business and trade environment, with a focus on tearing down trade barriers between provinces.
“What’s going to be most important is what is in the actual budget next week,”
said La-Na Fragomeni, president of the Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce.
- The budget submission comes at a time of economic uncertainty due to the ongoing global trade war.
- The federal Liberal government has been unable to reach a trade deal with the United States that protects key industries such as steel, aluminum, and auto.
