“FCM welcomes today’s important new federal package announced in response to U.S. tariffs, which will support Canadian businesses and workers.
Specifically, FCM supports modernizing and optimizing small business support going forward and efforts to pivot, diversify and find new markets, as this will be key to retaining local jobs across communities.
Canadian communities are already meeting this challenge, and additional federal investment in local infrastructure, such as in roads, water and sewer infrastructure, would help ensure economic growth and support businesses in moving more products from coast-to-coast-coast."
—Tim Tierney, President, Federation of Canadian Municipalities
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities is the national voice of municipal governments, with over 2,000 members representing more than 90 per cent of the Canadian population.
