The court noted two prominent business/employer associations, here in an intervenor application case:
[1] The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (the “OCC”) and the Canadian Association of Counsel to Employers (“CACE”) (collectively, the “Proposed Interveners”), seek leave to intervene as friends of the court in this appeal, pursuant to rr. 13.02 and 13.03(2) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 194.
....
[11] The OCC is the largest chamber of commerce in Ontario, with a broad and diverse base of 150 local chambers and 60,000 individual members in every economic sector and region. It has expertise in advocating for public policies that contribute to a competitive economy and increased prosperity for Ontario’s communities.
[12] CACE is a national not-for-profit organization that represents over 1,400 management-side labour and employment lawyers working in a variety of settings. It has made timely and substantive submissions before Canadian courts, including the Supreme Court of Canada, on matters of interest to its constituency.
