Body 2: (Article copy larger bold)
(link color: #1C778C) Body 2: (Article copy larger) For more than 155 years, The Chamber has served as the voice of Greater Victoria’s business community. What that means is we listen to what our members tell us – their concerns, their questions and their vision. We then determine what needs to happen to create a successful outcome, gather the right people to talk to the appropriate level of government and make sure decision makers have the information they need to make the right choices. But our work doesn’t end there. We follow the process through to completion and make sure the interests of our business community are always top of mind. |

The Chamber will take a similar approach to the Provincial plan to address the housing shortage. We are happy the government understands the gravity of this issue and that BC’s 2018 Budget — the first since the NDP formed power — attempted to directly address this concern.
“Government has made some significant moves to get a handle on our overheated real estate market. Having a better chance to purchase or rent a house in our region and turn it into a home will go a long way to making Greater Victoria more attractive to the types of workers we need,” Catherine said.
The announcement of a speculation tax covering specific regions in BC, including Greater Victoria, has been given a high-profile in the media. We are keeping an eye on this issue, but have chosen to use our resources to raise awareness and fight for changes to another tax announced in BC Budget 2018. The Employer Health Tax (EHT) affects all businesses and has wide-ranging consequences for Greater Victoria’s economy.
“In a budget that went some distance to make working life more affordable, this was a surprise move in the opposite direction,” Catherine said.
