"Prime Minister Justin Trudeau read the room and made the right call by announcing his resignation today," said our President and CEO, Candace Laing, in a new statement. "His resignation marks a turning point as Canada tackles unprecedented domestic and international challenges. Canada can’t afford inaction with so much at stake. Unity is key: political leaders, businesses, and communities must come together around our common opportunities. Canada’s next Prime Minister must hit the ground running and be laser-focused on strengthening the Canada-U.S. trade relationship. We have always been a nation of builders, and we should harness our entrepreneurial spirit to boost our lagging productivity and deliver on the priorities that matter to Canadians. The time for wasteful spending and over-taxation is done — we need to aim higher and deliver the better life all Canadians deserve." The Canadian Chamber of Commerce thanks Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for his years of dedicated service to Canada. ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q031htQv0
