The Ontario Chamber of Commerce

Ontario Election

As Ontario’s Business Advocate, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) has a responsibility to its membership to bring forward issues of concern for our network of 160 chambers and boards or trade, and associated 60,000 businesses across the province. This responsibility is recognized most acutely during an election.

The OCC supports policies, not parties. With this philosophy at the heart of our advocacy efforts, the OCC is able to present the views of our network and the policies of our organization in a non-partisan format, we call Platform 2011: Advocating for a Competitive Ontario.

Platform 2011 includes a Pre-Election Business Survey that identifies the policy priorities of the business community and a Policy Matrix that compares the needs of the OCC and the Chamber Network with the priorities of Ontario’s major political parties.
