Cap-Acadie, NB, December 19, 2024 — The Cap-Acadie Chamber of Commerce warmly congratulates the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc on his appointment as Minister of Finance, in addition to his current responsibilities as Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs.
We recognize that this appointment comes at a critical time, marked by significant economic and political challenges, including threats of 25% tariffs on Canadian imports by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
The Cap-Acadie Chamber of Commerce emphasizes the crucial importance of addressing the issue of tariffs between Canada and the United States, which could have major repercussions on our local businesses and the national economy.
We also encourage Minister LeBlanc to take into consideration the specific needs of the business community in Cap-Acadie, New Brunswick and Canada as a whole.
Rigorous management of the country’s fiscal situation is essential to ensure economic stability and prosperity.
The Cap-Acadie Chamber of Commerce stands ready to work closely with Minister LeBlanc and his team to address these crucial issues that affect our businesses in the region.
We are confident that through close cooperation between government and local stakeholders, we can overcome these challenges and foster an environment conducive to economic growth and development in our communities.
