Talent Is the Foundation of Economic Growth
For too long, economic uncertainty has become part of the business environment. Over the past several years, our members have navigated a pandemic, inflation, labour shortages, rising costs, supply chain disruptions, changing immigration policies, trade relationship disruption, and evolving consumer behaviour. Each challenge has demanded adaptation, resilience, and leadership, yet despite those pressures businesses have continued to invest, hire, innovate, and grow. That resilience deserves recognition, but it should not be mistaken for an unlimited capacity to absorb new costs and uncertainty without consequences. The latest developments in the Canada-U.S. trade relationship are another such disruptive force. The United States remains Canada’s largest trading partner, and many New Brunswick businesses are directly or indirectly connected to cross-border markets and supply chains. It is true that every new tariff introduces additional complexity, every shift in trade policy affects investment decisions, and worse, every period of prolonged uncertainty risks weakening business confidence. It is equally true that these challenges can provide opportunities with the right focus. Across Atlantic Canada, demographic challenges have been building for decades. We are experiencing the combined effects of an aging population, increasing competition for workers, changing workforce expectations, and growing demand for specialized skills. At the same time, emerging industries are transforming the economy at a pace few could have predicted even ten years ago. Whether we are discussing cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, health care, skilled trades, defence, research, advanced manufacturing, or the knowledge industry, every conversation ultimately returns to the same issue: people. Talent is not simply one factor contributing to economic growth. Talent is the foundation upon which economic growth depends. This is a point the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce has consistently advanced through our support for population growth strategies, immigration pathways, workforce development initiatives, educational partnerships, and efforts to strengthen Fredericton’s position within the knowledge economy. We have emphasized that population growth and economic growth are inseparable, and that our strategy must focus both on attracting newcomers and on retaining and developing the talent already here. That dual focus is increasingly urgent. We cannot build a sustainable workforce by relying exclusively on immigration, nor can we meet all of our future labour needs through the existing population. We need to better connect students with career opportunities, help people acquire the skills required by a changing economy, create welcoming communities in which newcomers from abroad and other parts of the country can build lasting lives, and ensure that young New Brunswickers can see a compelling future for themselves here. We understand the importance of investing in roads, energy systems, housing, broadband, and transportation because businesses cannot operate effectively without them. The same principle applies to talent, perhaps moreso. Employers cannot expand without the people needed to support that growth, entrepreneurs cannot scale their ideas without skilled teams, and communities cannot attract investment if companies are uncertain that the required workforce will be available. The unsuccessful trade negotiations last week underline why this work cannot wait. When the rules governing international commerce can change with little notice, our response cannot be to pause investment, lower our ambitions, or wait for the external environment to become more predictable. We must instead strengthen the parts of our economy over which we have greater influence, and there is no more consequential place to begin than with our people. As I’ve written many times in this space, we are living in an era of uncertainly and the response must be to keep calm and carry on. We are better off using this latest turn as a further catalyst to continue to focus on the hard work of getting our own economic house in order. That means supporting local, diversifying trade markets, bringing down interprovincial trade barriers, increasing productivity through innovation, development our own resources and developing skills for the current and future workplace. That is why the chambers of commerce in Fredericton, Greater Moncton and the Saint John Region are partnering with the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce, the Atlantic Economic Council, the University of New Brunswick and the New Brunswick Community College to convene the Talent for Growth Summit on September 25, 2026. The summit will bring together representatives from business, government, post-secondary education, industry, economic development, immigration and settlement organizations, chambers of commerce, community organizations, and the next generation of professionals to address New Brunswick’s talent and workforce challenges. This cannot be another conversation in which we describe challenges that employers already know too well and then return to our respective organizations without a path forward. The purpose of the summit is to bring the right people into the same room, share evidence and experience, develop stronger partnerships, inform workforce strategies and advance practical solutions for attracting, developing, and retaining the talent our province and region need to grow. No single organization can solve this challenge. Employers understand their workforce needs, but they cannot redesign education and training systems by themselves. Post-secondary institutions prepare people for successful careers, but they need sustained input from employers about emerging occupations and skills. Governments establish policies and fund programs, but the effectiveness of those decisions depends on the lived experience of communities, businesses, workers, students, and newcomers. Immigration and settlement organizations help people establish new lives here, but long-term retention requires housing, employment, health care, belonging, and meaningful community connections. Too often, these conversations occur separately. The Talent for Growth Summit is an opportunity to bring them together and to acknowledge that fragmentation is one of the barriers we must overcome. The Summit also provides an opportunity to think beyond immediate vacancies. Filling today’s open positions matters, but our responsibility is larger than matching people with jobs. We must anticipate how work is changing, identify the skills our economy will require in the years ahead, create clearer pathways from learning to employment, and help employers adapt to technological and demographic change. We must also ensure that small and medium-sized businesses, which form the backbone of our economy, can meaningfully participate in workforce development rather than being expected to navigate increasingly complex systems on their own. This is particularly important for Atlantic Canada because national policies do not always reflect regional realities. Our communities face different demographic conditions, labour-market pressures, and population patterns than larger metropolitan centres. Our advocacy for approaches tailored to Atlantic Canada is not a request for special treatment; it is a recognition that effective public policy must respond to the circumstances of the people and places it is meant to serve. If recent trade negotiations have reminded us of anything, it is that we cannot build our economic strategy around variables

AI for All: From National Strategy to Regional Opportunity
Canada’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy, AI for All, arrives at a pivotal moment for New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada and it amplifies the case that the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce has been making: AI’s true value lies in its broad application across regions, industries, and business sizes. For Atlantic Canada, where productivity challenges, demographic pressures, and geographic distance have long shaped economic outcomes, AI for All represents not just a technology agenda, but a regional economic opportunity. We explored the opportunity locally and in depth at our joint conference with the University of New Brunswick last September, Shaping the Debate: the Knowledge Industry Shift. That conversation articulated economic development around a vision rooted in learning, research, and human capability – not scale alone. This framing is particularly relevant for New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada, where post‑secondary institutions play a central role in regional life and where collaboration between academia, business, and government is often closer and more agile than in larger jurisdictions. The conference emphasized that in an AI‑enabled economy, competitive advantage increasingly comes from how quickly people and organizations learn, how effectively knowledge is shared, and how well technology is aligned with human judgment and values. These insights align directly with AI for All’s emphasis on AI literacy, workforce readiness, and responsible adoption. When viewed together, the national strategy and the Knowledge Industry Shift point toward a clear conclusion: artificial intelligence, applied thoughtfully and responsibly, can help New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada do more with what we already have, people, expertise, relationships, and community‑based businesses. AI for All is notable not simply for its ambition, but for its recognition that AI adoption will not happen evenly or automatically. The strategy explicitly acknowledges that small and medium‑sized enterprises, rural regions, and traditional industries face barriers to adoption, even as they stand to benefit significantly from productivity‑enhancing tools. This acknowledgement is critical for Atlantic Canada, where SMEs form the backbone of the economy. Across New Brunswick and the region, businesses operate in sectors such as construction, retail, tourism, agriculture, fisheries, manufacturing, professional services, and the non‑profit sector. Importantly, these tools are not about reducing headcount. They are about helping employees spend less time on repetitive administrative work and more time on the activities that require human judgment, creativity, relationship-building, and problem-solving. Many of these firms are not seeking cutting‑edge AI research or complex technological transformation. Instead, they are looking for practical solutions that help manage rising costs, respond to labour shortages, improve customer service, and make better decisions with limited time and staff. Further, productivity has long been a structural challenge for New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada. Smaller markets, dispersed populations, aging demographics, and workforce constraints mean that growth often depends on working smarter rather than simply working more. In this context, AI represents a practical tool to help businesses increase output and quality without proportionally increasing labour or overhead. Across sectors, AI is already demonstrating value in automating routine administrative tasks, improving scheduling and forecasting, enhancing inventory management, and supporting data‑informed decision‑making. For many Atlantic Canadian businesses, these applications are less about transformation and more about relieving pressure on owners and employees who are stretched thin. One of the most important messages for New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada is that AI is not confined to the technology sector. While the region, and Fredericton in particular, has a growing tech ecosystem, the greatest economic impact will come from adoption across traditional and foundational industries. Construction and trades businesses can use AI for project planning, cost estimation, and risk management. Agriculture and fisheries can apply AI to improve yield forecasting, sustainability monitoring, and logistics. Tourism and hospitality businesses can better anticipate demand, manage staffing, and personalize visitor experiences. Professional services can streamline workflows while maintaining human oversight and trust. Community organizations and non‑profits can stretch limited resources and improve impact measurement. A recurring theme in both AI for All and the Knowledge Industry Shift is confidence. Many businesses are not resistant to AI, they are uncertain. Concerns around cost, data privacy, ethics, workforce impact, and reputational risk are especially acute for small and community‑based businesses. New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada are well positioned to address these concerns through community‑based approaches to AI adoption. Local training programs, peer‑to‑peer learning, and partnerships with post‑secondary institutions can help businesses build confidence incrementally. Responsible experimentation, supported by clear guardrails and shared best practices, is more likely to succeed than rapid or top‑down transformation. The Fredericton Chamber of Commerce’s involvement in the Knowledge Industry Shift highlights the evolving role of chambers in an AI‑enabled economy. Beyond advocacy, chambers increasingly serve as translators, helping businesses understand emerging technologies and policy frameworks in practical, accessible terms. At a regional level, chambers are promoting AI literacy, sharing real‑world examples of productivity gains, encouraging ethical and responsible use, connecting businesses with researchers and solution providers, and advocate for programs that reflect regional realities. This convening role is essential if AI adoption is to support shared prosperity rather than deepen economic divides. Seen through this lens, AI for All invites New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada to translate national ambition into regional action, leveraging collaboration, education, and trust as competitive strengths. The groundwork laid suggests the region is already moving in this direction, but what remains most important is to turn insight into action. Call to Action: What New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada Businesses Can Do Now Treat AI as a productivity tool, not a technology project. Focus on everyday operational challenges where AI can deliver immediate, practical value – particularly in process improvement. Build AI literacy before scaling AI use. Confidence among owners, managers, and employees is essential to responsible adoption. Start small and experiment responsibly. Pilot projects reduce risk, build trust, and support learning. Keep people at the centre of AI adoption. AI should augment human work, not replace it. Leverage regional collaboration. Partnerships across business, education, and government accelerate learning and reduce duplication. Make AI part of the mainstream business conversation. Every business should be asking where AI could help improve productivity and resilience.

Fredericton’s New City Council Takes Shape: A Critical Moment for Growth, Civil Discourse, and Economic Direction
Earlier this month, communities across New Brunswick elected leaders that will shape if and how their municipalities will growth for the next four years. Now, as new councils prepare for their swearing-in ceremonies, we are entering a critical transition in leadership, in expectations, and in the collective responsibility we carry forward. The moment represents both opportunity and challenge. Fresh mandates, renewed energy, and a chance to align on the pressing issues that define our economic and community well-being are intertwined with ensuring businesses are able to operate with conditions that are conducive to sustainability and growth. That, of course, does not only rest with municipalities, but rather all levels of government, business, community groups, institutions and citizens as well as how they interact. This last point is no small matter. How we engage with one another going forward will determine whether we meet this moment with progress or lose ground to division. Across Canada and beyond, we have seen a shift in how we talk to one another in public life. The tone has too often become more polarized, more personal, and less productive. This is particularly true in the online environment, but not exclusively. Municipal politics has not been immune to this trend and yet, municipal governance may be where civil discourse matters the most. Decisions are immediate and the impacts are visible. Relationships are closer and collaboration is essential. Civil discourse does not mean the absence of disagreement. In fact, it depends on the presence of diverse perspectives. What it demands is respect, a willingness to listen, and a commitment to engage constructively. We know that when that environment exists, better decisions follow. The Fredericton Chamber of Commerce prides itself on providing spaces where we can have those big conversations in a constructive and respectful manner. We saw that most recently at our Mayoral Candidate Forum leading up to the election and the ability to engage in civil discourse will be absolutely critical as we decide on how to act on both the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. In Fredericton, 8 of 12 councillors have been elected for the first time. We are excited to work with them and their fresh ideas to continue to build our community. Now that the dust has settled, we are looking for our new council to set a positive tone and bring forward their priorities while remaining focused on the issues that matter. As the new council takes shape, we encourage a clear focus on several priority areas that will define both our economic trajectory and quality of life: Continue to ardently pursue the implementation of the 47 recommendations of the Community Safety Task Force. Many of those recommendations are not easy and require collaboration between levels of government and the business community. But they do have substance and will make a meaningful difference to our community as a whole and the people that are struggling right now. As a member of that task force, I can confirm that the right people and organizations were represented, we heard from knowledgeable experts when that expertise wasn’t sitting at the table and the recommendations we went forward with are intentional and solid. The Province’s first tranche of property tax reforms will give municipalities powers to increase property tax on commercial properties – moving the upper end of the rate multiplier from 1.7 to 2.0. We strongly encourage Fredericton council to not consider more aggressively taxing business. Instead, focusing on the competitiveness of our business community is the most sustainable and strategic way to ensure that the tax base can generate the revenue needed to provide the services required over the long term. Businesses are being hit with costs from all directions at the moment and we are looking to our municipality to alleviate that burden, not exacerbate it. Make meaningful progress on long standing projects with the NBEX grounds and the Centennial Building. The stated purpose for the existing joint plan for the NBEX property is to ‘reimagine the exhibition grounds into a redevelopment that is future-focused, attainable, and respectful of the site’s almost 150-year agricultural legacy and location on Wolastoqiyik traditional territory.’ As stated specifically in the development plan, a new school [George Street Middle School replacement] built on this site would be a dynamic component in creating ‘a complete and walkable community’ which allows for ‘synergies with surrounding open spaces, potential recreation facilities, and Fredericton Exhibition Limited’s unique agricultural, recreational and community programming’ as well as a potential fieldhouse that would benefit both students and the community. This project has exciting potential and we look forward to the leadership of the City and NBEX bringing it to fruition. Development of the Centennial Building is becoming increasing critical by the day as the new justice building and performing arts centre get closer to completion while that property deteriorates. That property can continue the transformation on the east end of downtown with the right plan. Be clear that growth is good – population growth and economic growth that will provide the revenue for the infrastructure and services to support. This includes welcoming those new to our community. Part of the slide in civil discourse has been a rise in negativity towards immigration and newcomers. The old narrative that immigrants are here to take jobs and resources like housing and healthcare has gained some traction over the past couple of years and that must be reversed immediately. With federal reductions in immigration, our provincial population has again become stagnant and aging. Newcomers are already key contributors to many sectors including construction and healthcare and will become even more critical as time passes with a domestic birthrate that is well below natural growth levels. Embrace the ongoing work of existing municipal entities. Ignite’s Vision 2030 economic development strategy builds upon the achievements of Vision 2020, which cemented Fredericton’s reputation as Atlantic Canada’s Knowledge Capital, Vision 2030 advances this legacy by recognizing education and knowledge as a vital social and economic resource that will fuel the other three
