About
the Canadian Chamber of Commerce – Because Business Matters
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce helps build the businesses that support our
families, our communities and our country. We do this by influencing government
policy, by providing essential business services and by connecting businesses
to information they can use, to opportunities for growth and to a network of
local chambers, businesses, decision-makers and peers from across the country,
in every sector of the economy and at all levels of government, as well as
internationally. We are unapologetic in our support for business and the vital
role it plays in building and sustaining our great nation.

Today, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce announced the election of Karl Tabbakh, the Regional Managing Partner for Québec and Co-Leader of International & Business Strategy for McCarthy Tétrault, as Chair of its board of directors for 2021-2022.
I want to congratulate all appointed and re-appointed members of the new cabinet on their portfolios. This new cabinet comes at a critical time in our country’s history. Now the real work begins.
With the federal government’s statutory review of the Cannabis Act fast approaching, it will be critical to address the regulatory burdens that are currently putting this multi-billion dollar economic driver at risk.
