联邦小企业及旅游部长在万锦会见加拿大华裔商界代表
【万锦讯】加拿大联邦小企业和旅游部长瑞琪·华德斯 (Rechie Valdez) 上周末在万锦与大多伦多地区华裔商界代表举行圆桌会议，共同探讨本地企业家面临的机遇与挑战。
此次会议由万锦市加华联会（FCCM）主办，汇聚了来自各行业的业界人士，包括万锦市商会、列治文山商会、加中地产投资总商会、加拿大中国专业人士协会以及多位本地企业家。与会者就影响企业发展的关键议题和华裔社区的热点问题分享了见解，并有部分代表递交了书面建议。

华德斯部长在会上介绍了新一届联邦政府近期推动经济增长的多项举措，包括为加拿大人减税、简化行政程序、加快国家基础设施建设等。华德斯部长还分享了华裔企业家可受益于联邦政府支持的具体支持措施，包括：
• “商业福利查询”（Business Benefit Finder）涵盖超过1500项针企业支持资源
• “贸易专员服务处”（Trade Commissioners Services）提供出口支持资金
• “女性创业贷款基金” （Women Entrepreneurship Loan Fund）为女性企业家提供融资渠道
• 加拿大商业发展银行（Business Development Bank of Canada）贷款服务


“华裔加拿大企业家对加拿大经济和万锦市的繁荣至关重要。” 华德斯部长表示，“我承诺与大家携手合作——通过减税、降低门槛，并提供企业发展所需的支持。我们共同推动加拿大的经济增长，为我们的下一代创造更多机遇。”
FCCM主席吴建忠医生对部长来访华社表示热烈欢迎。他说：“部长的到访，充分体现了新一届联邦政府重视与多元社区的交流，也展现了对华裔企业家支持的真诚承诺。部长提出的减税、推动经济和为小企业创造机遇的方向令人鼓舞。我们期待与华德斯部长及政府继续合作，希望华人社区继续为加拿大的未来建设发挥重要作用。此次圆桌会议受到了所有与会者的欢迎和积极参与。”

作为加拿大联邦负责小型企业和旅游业的部长，华德斯部长希望成为华裔企业家及社区的长期合作伙伴。在离开时，华德斯部长还与FCCM办公室工作人员合影，感谢他们对此次活动的支持。
