The Manitoba Chambers of Commerce researches and develops policy positions that serve to enhance the province’s competitiveness and to ensure that Manitoba is an attractive place in which to invest and conduct business.
The policy team — staff and committee — helps shape the issues for which we advocate through a policy resolution process. At our annual general meeting (AGM), members gather to debate and define the resolutions that inform advocacy efforts for the coming year(s). Out of this process comes a compendium of resolutions, which form the basis of our critical advocacy work.
