On behalf of the Government of Ontario, I am delighted to join the Ontario Chamber of Commerce in inviting you to the 2005 Ontario Economic Summit (OES).

Building on the resounding success of the 2004 summit, this year’s OES is certain, once again, to engage delegates in a thought-provoking examination of ways to foster sustainable growth and prosperity through leadership, innovation and collaboration. This veritable think-tank of leaders from business, academic institutions and government will offer reasoned insight into the most pressing economic questions facing decision-makers in Ontario, while providing unique opportunities for networking.

I would also like to commend the staff and management of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce for their exceptional stewardship of this vital economic forum and for their tireless efforts on behalf of businesses throughout Ontario.

I look forward to seeing you all at the 2005 Ontario Economic Summit.

Dalton McGuinty
Premier
