The Peterborough Chamber of Commerce is a member of the Ontario and Canadian Chambers of Commerce. Each year we participate in the Policy Resolution process, which some call “The Parliament of Business”. Chambers across the country contribute Policy Resolutions that are debated, approved, and/or rejected, and then presented to the Government as recommendations. These recommendations often result in significant changes to Government policy, making it easier for you to do business. The link below will take you to the 2011 approved Policy Resolutions book. Please have a look at the index and explore any of the Resolutions that are of interest. If there is something that affects your business specifically, it’s often very effective for local MP’s/MPP’s to hear from you about an area of concern. If they can carry your voice along with ours to Queens Park or the House of Commons it can strengthen the argument for change. Our General Manager, Stu Harrison is the Co-Chair of the Ontario Policy Caucus. If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to contact him at 705-748-9771 ext 202, or email stuart@peterboroughchamber.ca.
