Montreal Port Work Stoppage: What It Means For Your Business

Update: As of November 12, the federal government ordered an end to the work stoppages at ports in Montreal and British Columbia.

As the largest port in Eastern Canada, many small- and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) depend on the port for their supply chains. A disruption means delivery delays, production slowdowns, and ultimately, a hit to their bottom lines.

Are you affected by this work stoppage? Or have you been affected by one of the many recent ones? Let us know how at OttawaCFIB@cfib.ca so we can continue to put pressure on government and better advocate for you!
