Ontario Chamber Network Supports Cutting Red Tape for Motor Vehicle Dealers

(Toronto, November 19, 2018) – Today, Rocco Rossi, President and CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) and Susan Gubasta, President of the Trillium Automobile Dealers Association released the following statement in response to Bill 50, the Cutting Red Tape for Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2018 proposed by Mike Harris, MPP for Kitchener-Conestoga.

“On behalf of our 60,000 members in 135 communities across the province, we are pleased to see the Ontario Government’s movement in response to the proposed Bill 50, the Cutting Red Tape for Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2018. Cutting red tape for car dealerships across the province is essential to increasing productivity and streamlining outdated and unnecessary requirements leaving car dealerships behind and huge, unnecessary delays for the consumer. Car dealerships lose productivity every time they are required to have their paperwork processed for vehicles sold or leased. It is time we implement Bill 50 and help bring car dealership practices into the 21st century.” – Rocco Rossi, President and CEO, OCC

“The Trillium Automobile Dealers Association and our 1,100 members deeply appreciates the Ontario Chamber of Commerce’s support of Bill 50, the Cutting Red Tape for Motor Vehicle Dealers Act. This Bill will modernize Ontario’s retail auto sector and save time and money for auto dealers and consumers. The Ontario Chamber of Commerce is a leader in fighting against red tape, and we are thankful for having them in our corner to streamline business regulations and modernize the vehicle sales process.” – Susan Gubasta, President, Trillium Automobile Dealers Association
