“Generational fairness” should consider how today’s actions could negatively impact our future prosperity. The Capital Gains Tax increase will limit opportunities for all generations by making Canada a less competitive and less innovative nation. Our Senior Director Alex Greco speaks to this in his latest appearance before the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates. Watch his testimony in full on ParlVu and read the Canadian Chamber’s statement on the new Capital Gains tax. ⤵️ ParlVu: https://bit.ly/3WgURXT Our statement: https://bit.ly/4chezb3 #CapitalGainsTax #CapitalGains

Today's announcement that Canada hopes to meet the 2% #NATO defence spending commitment by 2032 is underwhelming at best. Meaningfully addressing the new and evolving threats in the global #security environment will require a credible plan that is serious about shoring up and modernizing our #defence industrial base. Having a detailed and credible plan for meeting this commitment is not only integral to reestablishing Canada’s reputation as a dependable security partner—it’s also essential to maintaining our critical #trade relationships. As we approach the US Presidential election and the 2026 #CUSMA review, it is especially important that we show the world we continue to be a reliable ally.

Banning employer-paid virtual health care could make it more difficult for 10 million Canadians to get essential health services. In 2023, Ottawa announced plans to issue an Interpretation Letter on the Canada Health Act to address loopholes that make Canadians pay out-of-pocket for necessary #medicalservices. This letter is expected to come out soon. However, without a clear exemption, employers might not be able to offer #virtualcare through work benefit plans anymore. This could force millions of people into busy ERs and walk-in clinics for issues that could be solved remotely. It's important to note: Employer-paid virtual health care services impose NO out-of-pocket costs on patients. That's why communications about virtual care in the public system should clearly state that employer-funded virtual health options are allowed. Learn more about why employer-paid virtual health care matters for Canadians ⤵️ https://bit.ly/4f1EEgg

After a busy weekend, I'm relieved to see goods are still flowing through our British Columbia ports (for now), but even the threat of labour disruption continues to harm predictability for Canadian businesses. Thanks to Angela Jung from Global News BC for reaching out to discuss the importance of our west coast ports to the Canadian economy, as well as the impact of repeated labour disruptions on Canada's trade relationships and global competitiveness.

"Government simply can’t allow our British Columbia ports to shut down for a second year in a row—they need to act as swiftly as possible to prevent a repeat of the impacts on Canadian families, Canadian businesses, and the Canadian economy." Our Senior Director of Transportation, Infrastructure & Construction, Pascal Chan talks to The Wall Street Journal's Paul Vieira about the risk of a second strike at the B.C. ports.
Important coverage from Paul Vieira for The Wall Street Journal on the escalating situation over the weekend at our British Columbia ports. 🏗 In our conversation, I noted the Canadian Chamber of Commerce's Business Data Lab analysis of Employment and Social Development Canada data, which revealed that 2023 saw the most days lost to labour disputes since 1986. These repeated labour disruptions, as well as the threat of even more, are a terrible blow to Canada’s diminishing reputation as a reliable place to do business. 📉 https://lnkd.in/gJ4AuxvV
