Listen On

Recently, Rocco Rossi, President and CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce released the following statement in reaction to further restrictions announced:

“We recognize the restrictions brought in today are to help save lives and curtail the spread of the virus. However, in absence of further support, new restrictions will simply devastate Ontario’s business community. An expedited vaccine roll-out prioritizing essential workers who cannot work from home is critical to preventing these stops and starts that are so damaging for business. With the Ontario Business Support Grant coming to a close, we call for continued supports that will see businesses through the third wave of the crisis.”
