REGULATORY AFFAIRS

Through government relations and advocacy, the MHA provides the opportunity for hotels to speak with one voice to effectively influence policy makers at all levels of government. 

Hotels are impacted every day by a myriad of different and ever-changing laws and regulations. The MHA works on behalf of its members to help ensure that regulatory requirements for hotels are reasonable, clear, and well understood by the industry. 

The MHA’s advocacy activities include:

• Developing positive working relationships with elected representatives, government officials and members of the opposition at the municipal, provincial and federal levels of government;
• Monitoring changes to legislation and regulations that affect the hotel industry;
• Influencing legislation and regulation development through meetings, correspondence, presentations and participation in government committees and working groups;
• Ensuring MHA members are aware of any new or changing public policy that affects the hotel industry.

The MHA advocates on a wide range of issues, such as:

• Tourism
• Liquor and gaming policy
• Workforce and labour

The MHA’s government relations and advocacy initiatives are led by the MHA Chair, Board of Directors, and President and CEO Michael Juce.
