LUNCHEON: "7 Tasks for the New Government" with Perrin Beatty, President & CEO, Canadian Chamber of Commerce
Join the Halifax Chamber and Honourable Perrin Beatty, President & CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, to hear the 7 tasks for the new government.
As we head into another economic downturn, Canada has little fiscal wiggle room to help cushion the effects on every day Canadians. Business will be the sole catalyst to drive Canada’s economy forward.
Facing such a challenge means it is imperative Canada gets its business environment right.
Canada’s businesses understand that competing at home and abroad means addressing issues of increasing concern like taxation, regulation, skills and immigration if Canada, and all Canadians, are to weather the storm.
