The Windsor Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce is keeping a close eye on what the change in US administration will mean to the local business community.
Much of the local industry is reliant on international trade deals, which Donald Trump has indicated he wants to reopen.
Chamber President Matt Marchand says there is a lot that has yet to be determined, but the Trans Pacific Partnership seems dead:
Marchand says changes in direct trade with the US look less clear. He says rhetoric on the campaign trail about NAFTA may not translate to action.
Marchand says they've been following a couple of polling organizations that had Trump ahead recently: "it's not something we're totally caught off guard by we have been talking about what a Trump presidency might look like for a number of weeks so we never ruled out a Trump presidency, in fact we've been looking at it for a number of weeks"
Marchand cautions people not to over-react because it takes 60 votes in the US Senate to make changes and neither party has that.
