  • Statement from Candace Laing CEO Canadian Chamber of Commerce on the U.S. Presidential Election

    The Canadian Chamber of Commerce congratulates President-elect Donald Trump and all the candidates who won their elections in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives. We strongly reaffirm our commitment to working with the Canadian government to foster a robust and mutually beneficial economic relationship with the United States.


    With an impressive $3.6 billion in daily trade, Canada and the United States are each other’s closest international partners. The secure and efficient flow of goods and people across our border−enabled by the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA)−remains essential for the economies of both countries.


    As we approach the 2026 review of the CUSMA, Canada’s government must collaborate effectively with the Trump administration to preserve and strengthen our bilateral economic partnership. By resisting tariffs and trade barriers that will only raise prices and hurt consumers in both countries, Canada and the United States can strengthen resilient cross-border supply chains that enhance our shared economic security.

    The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce takes proactive steps to promote reconciliation and respect for Indigenous rights within the corporate sector. In response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Call to Action 92, the Chamber urges its members to embrace the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a guiding framework.

     

    Recognizing the importance of education, the Chamber encourages businesses to provide comprehensive training for management and staff on the history of Indigenous peoples, including the legacy of residential schools, Indigenous rights, and Aboriginal-Crown relations. Emphasizing intercultural competency, conflict resolution, and anti-racism, these efforts aim to foster a more inclusive and harmonious corporate environment rooted in mutual understanding and respect.
