Who We Are
The Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada (CCMBC) was founded in 2016 to provide a different kind of business advocacy. The CCMBC represents small- and medium-sized manufacturers and other businesses in every sector across Canada. We are a growing and powerful voice advocating for a policy agenda that supports Canadian business competitiveness and keeps good jobs in Canada. Unlike many other business organizations, we will never accept money from any government source, ensuring that the interests of business remain our exclusive and leading priority.
