The Ontario government is looking forward to a recovery from the economic impact on citizens and businesses. I encourage you to visit the survey website to take the survey on how you and your business have been impacted and provide input on stimulus to help recover:
Federally, the LBMAO is working with its sister associations across Canada through the Building Material Council of Canada (BMCC). We will be providing a detailed portfolio to the Minister of Finance and the Standing Committee on Finance suggesting stimulus incentives such as the previous Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC) and other programs towards eco-renovations based on information obtained by a consultancy firm specializing in gathering the required data.
The past several weeks have been challenging for all of us both personally and in our business lives. Every day both the provincial and federal governments have been announcing various programs to help employees and businesses survive the pandemic-driven shutdown. Your best way of keeping up to the changing programs is to visit the provincial and federal government websites following the COVID-19 links on a daily basis. Please note the links below:
We wish you, your employees and families every success in weathering these challenging times.
David Campbell
President, LBMAO
