The Chamber presented a document to MP Dean Del Mastro containing numerous specific recommendations to Government for consideration in the 2012 Federal Budget. The Chamber is calling for a broad strategy based on four key goals; achieving economic recovery, creating jobs, ensuring low rates of taxation, and working towards a balanced budget.

The Pre Budget recommendations draw from a total of 57 Policy Resolutions, developed by Canadian Chamber Policy Committees and individual Chambers across the Country, which were debated and approved at the Chambers Annual General Meeting in September 2011. These recommendations cover areas of Federal Government jurisdiction including Finance and Taxation, Environment, Industry, International Affairs, Social Policy, and Transportation and Infrastructure.
