The Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal (CCMM) will host Ontario Premier Doug Ford on November 17 for a business luncheon aimed at strengthening economic ties between Quebec and Ontario.

The event offers Montréal’s business community a platform to discuss opportunities for deeper collaboration with their provincial counterparts. Isabelle Dessureault, President and CEO of the CCMM, emphasized the strategic importance of this dialogue amid current trade uncertainties.

Dessureault stated that Ford’s presence reflects the chamber’s commitment to fostering ongoing dialogue with economic partners. She noted that Quebec and Ontario have strong incentives to work more closely together at a time marked by uncertainty and trade tensions.

"Strengthening this economic corridor represents a strategic lever for growth and resilience for our businesses," Dessureault said.
