Consumer Services
The Chamber recognizes the need for protection of all consumers, as well as maintaining the integrity and credibility of the marketplace. The Chamber is the principal voice of free enterprise.
The role of the Chamber is to draw the Provincial Government's attention to any inequalities within the marketplace, and to recommend corrective measures. The Chamber also believes itself responsible for providing informed input to, and working with, Government regarding proposed legislation and associated regulations on a continuing basis.
The Chamber believes that the role of the Provincial Government is to encourage operating efficiency in the marketplace, maintain confidence in business and financial institutions, and to stimulate individual investments in the province.
The Chamber believes that legislation dealing with both consumer services, and corporate relations should be readily understandable and should be enacted only in response to a proven need. As much as possible, government should allow the marketplace to govern itself.
