Chamber network offers ideas to grow economy
With winter looking likely to bring a chilling to Canada’s economy as well as the weather, The Chamber is urging government to promote investment in business growth that can light the way through winter.
Working with our national network, The Chamber is calling on federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to work together with business.
“Attempting to borrow our way to prosperity would only generate more debt and inflation,” Canadian Chamber CEO Perrin Beatty said, noting a better way is to use available “no-cost and low-cost tools” that will increase government revenue and grow the economy. “These measures include reforming regulation, increasing labour force participation and eliminating longstanding barriers to interprovincial trade, while avoiding new taxes and ending rhetoric that portrays Canadian businesses as the problem instead of as partners in growing a stronger economy.”
Minister Freeland is scheduled to provide a fall economic update on Thursday.
