New Vote Prosperity Platform advocates for businesses
|
The Vaughan Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, launched the
Vote Prosperity
platform to urge federal party leaders to put the needs of Canadian business front and centre in the upcoming federal election.
Vote Prosperity
calls on all of the federal parties to support Canada’s job creators by including these priorities in their election platforms:
- A tax system that is fair, efficient and modern.
- A regulatory system that works for everyone, including business.
- Access to new markets around the world and the elimination of trade barriers at home.
- Resources to help small- and medium-sized businesses grow and succeed at home and abroad.
- Innovation and infrastructure to make Canada the most connected country in the world.
- A workforce with the skills, education and training required to prosper.
- A healthier pharmacare system for healthier Canadians.
We're looking forward to engaging candidates in Vaughan through Vote Prosperity for the upcoming fall federal election.
