ICBA endorses Poilievre and ‘his vision for building Canada’

SURREY, B.C. – The (ICBA) has announced it is endorsing Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party of Canada in the next federal election.

“Canada feels broken, and the frustration is palpable in every community,” said Chris Gardner, ICBA president and CEO, in a statement. “Inflation is hurting families, housing remains unaffordable, and our standard of living is in decline – Canadians deserve a prime minister who will take bold, practical steps to address these challenges. Pierre Poilievre is that leader, and his commitment to reducing red tape, increasing housing supply, and making paycheques go further is exactly what this country needs.”

The ICBA Board of Directors voted unanimously to endorse Poilievre and the Conservatives.

“Canada once built world-class infrastructure with speed and purpose, but today, every project is over budget and years behind schedule,” said Gardner. “We are building the same number of homes today as we did in 1972, despite adding a population the size of Calgary each of the past two years. Pierre Poilievre understands that we need to streamline approvals, reduce red tape, cut unnecessary costs, and unleash the power of Canada’s workers and entrepreneurs.”

The endorsement, the ICBA states, means it is the first trade association or business organization in Canada to endorse Poilievre and his team.

“Poilievre’s vision includes bold steps to address the affordability crisis, unleash Canada’s energy sector, and reduce the burdens of excessive government expansion,” the release reads. “His focus on supporting initiative, innovation and building stronger communities will help ensure that Canada regains its competitive edge.”

“Construction workers and entrepreneurs are the backbone of this country,” Gardner said. “Pierre Poilievre has the common-sense plan to fix what’s broken and restore Canada’s promise for the next generation. ICBA is proud to endorse him to be the next prime minister of Canada.”
