Dear Wayne,

Congratulations on your election to Parliament and the trust your constituents have placed in you. As a fellow advocate for economic growth, we at the Saint John Region Chamber of Commerce will be honoured to work with you and the Conservative Party, as you bring our voice to Ottawa.

The Saint John region has been hard-hit by renewed U.S. tariffs, affecting our energy, seafood, and forestry sectors. But our region still boasts enormous economic potential – we are the only Atlantic port with direct access to all three Class I railways, and we are expanding capacity to become a premier trade and logistics hub.

We welcome your support in cutting red tape, protecting export industries, further collaboration on immigration policies and attracting infrastructure investment. Enclosed is a short briefing memo that outlines how Saint John can be a national leader in trade, energy independence, and job creation. We invite you to read it and share any thoughts you may have on how we can help our region continue to prosper and grow.

We invite you to meet with us here at the Chamber at your earliest convenience to explore shared priorities.

Sincerely,

Shannon Merrifield
CEO
