ADVOCACY

Help us help you.  Please share your concern using the form below.

Submissions are reviewed monthly by the BCC Government Affairs committee and will follow a process to identify whether the issue is common within your industry/sector and the level of government responsible for supporting solutions.

This may include a quick survey to other members that may share a similar concern or outreach to the Chamber network provincially or federally for further input on an approach to action.  Municipal issues will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

If the issue is already being supported with advocacy work, we will share the current status and provide an update on the progress towards recommended solutions.

If we identify this is a new issue, a policy resolution is our opportunity to have it supported at the Ontario or Canadian Chamber.  Submit an issue at any time, but we can only present new issues annually:

• The deadline for submissions to the OCC is usually early February and voted on at the OCC AGM held in April.
• The deadline for submissions to the CCC is late June and voted on at the CCC AGM held in October.
