Ontario Chamber of Commerce Urges Province to Provide Immediate Clarity for Reopening

In Provincial

On Thursday, January 13, 2022, Rocco Rossi, President & CEO, Ontario Chamber of Commerce, released the following statement:

“Employers and employees need to know now if we are returning to work on January 26th which is just under two weeks away.

“We implore the government to immediately clarify if Ontario will be moving out of Stage 2 of its Roadmap to Reopen plan so employers, workers and families can plan accordingly. To help reduce business uncertainty, we continue to call for transparency and visibility into the metrics guiding the imposition or removal of public health restrictions.

“Businesses, particularly small businesses, have suffered greatly over the last two years and continue to face unprecedented challenges amid a prolonged crisis. We ask the Government of Ontario to develop a clear and consistent long-term plan for managing the pandemic that ties restrictions to data-based metrics and provide employers with the necessary guidance around reopening when it is safe to do so.”
