(OTTAWA) July 5, 2023 — The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce has joined more than 120 chambers of commerce, boards of trade, and business associations across Canada to express deep concern over the labour disruption at Canada’s West Coast ports.
Our joint letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urges the federal government to take immediate action to prevent further disruption and safeguard the country’s supply chains. We call on the federal government to reconvene Parliament and pass back-to-work legislation, immediately.
