Ontario Chamber Calls for New Economic Vision Following PM’s Resignation

(TORONTO – January 6, 2024) – The Ontario Chamber of Commerce’s President and CEO, Daniel Tisch, released a statement following Prime Minister Trudeau’s resignation today as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada:

“Prime Minister Trudeau’s decision enables Canada to enter a new year with a contest between new voices articulating new economic visions – both within the Liberal Party now and between all parties in this year’s federal election.

“With two weeks until the U.S. presidential inauguration and instability around the world, Canadian prosperity depends on a sustainable growth agenda that unleashes business investment, entrepreneurship, innovation, productivity and competitiveness – while investing more strategically in talent development, infrastructure and healthy communities.

“We urge the PM to work closely with the provinces during his remaining time in office, taking a “Team Canada” approach to U.S. relations and other immediate challenges.

“We thank Mr. Trudeau for his service and remain committed to working with leaders at all levels to advance inclusive, sustainable prosperity in Ontario and Canada.”
