Municipal policies and administration have the most direct impact on the establishment and growth of all businesses and thus the strength of the Canadian economy but little understanding of the role and reality facing the businesses in the community.

5 We are the only G-8 country which depends on our business community competing abroad but routinely denies them access to the domestic market.
