e-166 (Manufacturing industry)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- Manufacturing is a significant contributor to Canada’s Gross Domestic Product, accounting for more than 10% of Canada’s total GDP;
- The current Government ignored manufacturing by failing to offer any plan to support manufacturers, specifically automotive manufacturers in their Speech from the Throne;
- Automotive manufacturing contributes high quality middle class jobs and economic growth in Canada;
- Government policies such as a price on carbon, raising pay roll taxes, and high energy costs are harming Canada’s ability to compete internationally.
