Statement on the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada 

The Business Council of Canada congratulates Mark Carney on his election as Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. Assuming the role of Prime Minister at this pivotal moment for Canada carries with it great responsibility.  

During this time of upheaval as we navigate the effects of the ongoing U.S. trade war, it is essential that Canada’s public and private sector leaders work together to overcome the challenges we face and embrace the opportunities ahead for our country. 

We share the same goals of serving Canadians and ensuring a better quality of life for all. 

We look forward to working with all federal leaders to meet the moment and create policies that strengthen Canada’s economy and lead to greater prosperity for all Canadians.
