Chambers of the Federation

The Chambers of the Federation Policy Framework reflects a collaborative effort among provincial and territorial chambers of commerce to address shared challenges and unlock opportunities that benefit all Canadians.
 

With geopolitical tensions, trade disruptions, and global economic shifts intensifying, Canada must act decisively to strengthen national sovereignty, secure supply chains, and enhance competitiveness.

Building on recent progress under the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, expanded interprovincial labour mobility measures, the Canadian Mutual Recognition Agreement on the Sale of Goods and the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act, provinces and territories now have a critical opportunity to move from commitment to full implementation, including through alignment with federal initiatives like Powering Canada Strong.

This joint submission offers a proactive, business-informed agenda for the Council of the Federation.
 

It presents a united vision and practical recommendations to drive economic growth, trade

competitiveness, and long-term prosperity across all regions.
