The New Westminster Chamber of Commerce is hosting an all-candidates meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Inn at the Quay. The Record is sponsoring the event, along with the chamber and the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. The chamber is also planning to ask each of the candidates 10 questions of particular relevance to the business community. The candidates' responses will be posted on the chamber's website verbatim. Three of the four candidates, NDP’s Peter Julian, Liberal Sasha Ramnarine, and Green Kyle Routledge, have confirmed attendance. Those three have also responded to questions from chamber members, and their response have been posted online.
Questions cover topics like flood management on the Fraser, business resources and labour force issues.
“There are a bunch of questions really important to our members, and they wanted us to ask the candidates, and we did that,” said Cori Lynn Germiquet, the chamber’s CEO. The answers were posted verbatim on the chamber’s website.
Tory Chloe Ellis has not replied to the invite to attend the meeting nor has she replied to the chamber’s questions, according to Germiquet.
