AEM was pleased to welcome Minister @MSidhuLiberal for a discussion on the importance of a strong North American manufacturing economy. With integrated supply chains, shared innovation, and cross-border investment, equipment manufacturers on both sides of the border rely on policies that strengthen competitiveness, support jobs, and drive growth.
Canada’s equipment manufacturing industry supports 147,000 jobs and contributes $24 billion annually to the economy. As trade and economic issues remain front and center, policymakers must work together to preserve the partnership that helps manufacturers succeed and communities thrive.
