First 100 Days of the Pallister Government! - Member Breakfast.

September 15 i s the commencement of our fall/winter member events and we will kick-off with a breakfast meeting at the Viscount Gort Hotel. Guest Speaker is the Hon. Cliff Cullen, Minister of Growth, Enterprise and Trade who will present on the first 100 days of government. A great opportunity to hear first hand from the minister responsible to the business community. 

This is our first breakfast meeting, we have heard from many members that they cannot attend the lunch meetings, we trust this scheduling change helps. 

Members and non-members welcome.
 
Extended Sunday Shopping Hours 

This is an issue that has come forth once again. We recently asked you in a one question poll whether extending Sunday Shopping hours would benefit your business. Here's what you told us.

19% said Yes there woudl be a benefit, 29% said No, there would not be a benefit and an overwhelming 52% told us it didn't matter, they weren't open now on Sunday. 

So what does this mean, for one thing there is no one solution that will benefit the majority. So the position that we have taken is that the government should remove the barriers that do not allow our business community to make their own decision. 

Let businesses decide what is best for them, whether to extend their hours based on their business profile provide an environment of choice. This has been communicated to the 5 MLA's in the Assiniboia Chamber service territory.
