SUMMER ATTRACTIONS
#AdvocacyInAction
Here is an overview of just a few of the strategic initiatives we’ve been working on in support of pandemic recovery, sustainable economic development, and growth.
As the #VoiceOfBusiness in Manitoba, the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce engages with our members to identify emerging issues and barriers to growth. We are impactful and influential, and we recommend actionable solutions to decision-makers in government.
BOLSTERING PHYSICIAN RECRUITMENT & RETENTION
On Sept. 21, 2022, MCC and Doctors Manitoba convened a summit on physician recruitment and retention strategies in response to an acute doctor shortage in rural and northern communities. According to Chuck Davidson, MCC president & CEO: "Accessible health care is important to all Manitobans, including our members, and reliable, quality care is essential to rural and northern economies. Without a strong health - care system, we can't support the attraction of new residents, we can't promote tourism with confidence, and we restrict Manitobans' ability to age in place. Health care is indeed an economic issue, and we look forward to releasing a report of the resulting recommendations very shortly in 2022."
MCC was pleased to participate in an October announcement of the establishment of the Premier’s Economic Advisory Council on Competitiveness. The council will provide guidance and recommendations on issues pertaining to Manitoba’s economic growth and prosperity. The premier also appointed a working group to assess Manitoba's tax framework with the aim to further modernize it and boost our competitiveness. The MCC team has long been advocating for a tax review, and this initiative has the network's full support. ADDRESSING COMPETITIVENESS
