The Ontario Chamber of Commerce

Task Forces

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) researches and develops policy positions that serve to enhance the province’s business competitiveness, and to ensure that Ontario is an attractive place to invest, conduct business and attract skilled talent.

The OCC membership and policy team help shape the issues for which we advocate through a policy resolution process. At our Annual General Meeting (AGM), OCC members gather to debate and define the resolutions that inform advocacy efforts for the coming year(s).

Once an issue has been identified, a task force is sometimes then organized. These task forces are made up of industry experts who lend knowledge and expertise to better inform an advocacy plan and offer solutions to the barriers identified by the OCC membership and larger business community in Ontario.

You can contribute to this process by becoming an OCC member and contacting the policy analyst responsible for that issue.
