The role government plays in business is often underestimated or completely overlooked. Decision makers at the municipal, provincial and federal levels can have a profound impact on the way a business operates, whether intentional or unintentional. Governments develop and adopt policies and regulations, impose taxes, provide funding or simply take public positions to try and influence business and consumer behavior. Business leaders can either be ahead of the curve, educating, anticipating and influencing government direction or be reacting to positions that are detrimental to the future operation.
We believe we can work with government decision makers effectively to assist in your application for government funding or help set or change the course of a government’s direction. As experienced Government Relations practitioners we can:
- Develop a comprehensive government relations strategy with clear objectives and tactics designed to achieve your objectives.
