At the annual Canadian Chamber of Commerce Convention to be held in Halifax from October 17-19, the Surrey Board of Trade will be seeking support for five federal government policies from Canadian Chamber of Commerce members – chambers of commerce and boards of trade, representing 200,000 Canadian businesses. The Surrey Board of Trade will release their policy wins after the policy debates. There are 47 federal policies being debated at the Convention this year, similar in format to UBCM and FCM.
“The Surrey Board of Trade actively participates in the formation of federal government policy perspectives to help business and the economy by instigating change. This serves as one of our member and stakeholder value propositions,” said Jasroop Gosal, Interim Spokesperson and Policy & Research Manager, Surrey Board of Trade.
Surrey Board of Trade federal government policies that will be debated, from an economic lens, are focused on:
- Creating Business Reporting and Taxation Regulation Efficiencies
- Enhancing Port Safety and Efficiency
There are 430 chambers of commerce/boards of trade in Canada. The Surrey Board of Trade is one of the top 10 largest chambers of commerce/boards of trade in Canada.
