Area Chamber Of Commerce Optimistic After Election

A new government at Queen’s Park isn’t a worry for the president of the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, Charla Robinson notes Doug Ford’s PC’s share some of the concerns the chamber does.

It includes stopping the increase in the minimum wage to $15 and hour in the new year, cutting business taxes and exempting northern Ontario from the aviation fuel tax.

Robinson is suggesting northwestern Ontario is getting the best of different worlds, citing the experience of Michael Gravelle and having Judith Monteith-Farrell on the official opposition are both good take-aways.

She is also confident PC Greg Rickford’s victory in Kenora-Rainy River will make him the “unofficial” regional voice at Queen’s Park. (File Photo)
