Protecting Canadian Jobs

From the COVID pandemic to today’s trade war, Canada’s economy has suffered recent crises that revealed deep vulnerabilities. Even before these recent shocks, Canadian manufacturing has been in decline for decades.  

Governments around the world are turning toward industrial policy to regrow industrial sectors. With the U.S. now an unreliable economic and trade partner, Canada must become more self-reliant and self-dependent, utilizing its resource wealth to create a more prosperous and resilient economy.    .
