    Dear Premier Houston

    On behalf of our network of 24 chambers of commerce and boards of trade and more than 4,800 businesses across Nova Scotia, the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce wishes to convey our congratulations to you on your re-election. At the same time, we want to offer the
    power of our network as a resource that can provide insight into how government and businesses can collaborate on the mutual goal of addressing the issues facing Nova Scotia.

    The cost of living and doing business continues to remain a high priority for businesses across the province. We recognize that your government’s platform aims to alleviate some of that burden through tax cuts for individuals and for businesses. These reductions in
    tandem with Nova Scotia’s strong commitment to reducing regulatory burden throughout the province will make the province more competitive and prosperous.

    The Atlantic Chamber looks forward to working with you throughout your term as Premier and wishes you success as we hope you lead Nova Scotia into a bright economic future.

    Sincerely,
    Rhonda Tulk-Lane
    Chief Executive Officer
    Atlantic Chamber of Commerce
