Canadian Chamber of Commerce

All-in Canada Plan
The Canadian Chamber has published a multipartisan All-In Canada Plan that addresses the critical roadblocks that have left us dependent on trade with the United States until now. Among other priorities, such as internal trade barriers, the plan calls for the government to reconvene Parliament so that all parties can get back to work on behalf of Canadians at this critical time - All-In Canada Plan PDF

Canada-U.S. Trade Tracker
The Canadian Chamber’s Business Data Lab has developed a Canada-U.S. Trade Tracker that delivers real-time data and actionable insights, equipping businesses and policymakers to defend and strengthen North America’s most crucial trade partnership. - www.businessdatalab.ca

U.S. Tariff Exposure Index
The Canadian Chamber’s Business Data Lab has developed a U.S. Tariff Exposure Index that determines the U.S. tariff risk level of the 41 largest cities in Canada, reflecting both a city’s U.S. export intensity and its dependence on the U.S. as a key export destination. Users can interact with the Index to quickly find relevantinformation for each of Canada’s 41 Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) with populations over 100,000, including local GDP, population figures, trade values, and the number of companies in the city that export to the U.S. - www.chamber.ca
