August 27, 2015 – The Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce (GOCC) is calling on local candidates in the federal election to take actions in order to improve Ontario’s business climate and foster economic growth. On August 24th the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) released its federal election platform, In Focus: Federal Priorities for the Ontario Economy. The platform outlines the key policy pledges that we believe each federal party should commit to in order to improve Ontario’s business climate and drive economic growth. This platform is a foundational piece that will form a report set for release on Tuesday, October 6, in which the OCC will evaluate the federal party platforms based on their responsiveness to the key priorities outlined in the report.
