Our Values and Principles
The Coalition for Canadian Industry Growth is built on the belief that Canada’s future prosperity depends on the strength of its industries—from clean energy and agriculture to manufacturing, digital innovation, and infrastructure.
We are guided by these core principles:
- National Unity Through Industry: Breaking down internal trade barriers to enable seamless collaboration across provinces and territories.
- Inclusive Growth: Ensuring small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Indigenous businesses, and rural industries have a voice in shaping the country’s industrial future. .
- Evidence-Based Advocacy: Grounding our recommendations in economic research, data, and forward-thinking policy analysis.
- Sustainable Development: Supporting climate-aligned innovation and policies that future-proof Canadian competitiveness on a global scale. .
Economic and Political Context
Canada is at a pivotal moment. With thought leaders like Mark Carney pushing for a green and inclusive recovery, and growing calls to address fragmented interprovincial regulations, the need for a unified industrial vision has never been greater.
Our coalition responds to these conditions by:
- Advocating for the reform of internal trade barriers that cost the Canadian economy billions annually.
- Supporting industrial policy renewal, aligned with both federal and provincial growth agendas.
- Amplifying opportunities in emerging sectors, such as clean tech, AI, and advanced manufacturing.
- Engaging with policymakers, trade groups, and business leaders to create coordinated action plans that generate results.
Our Vision for Canadian Industry
We envision a Canada where:
01
Economic policy and industry innovation are aligned, accelerating productivity and competitiveness.
02
Investment is attracted through a clear, unified national strategy.
03
SMEs and startups are empowered to scale nationally and internationally.
04
Provincial and territorial boundaries no longer limit growth, thanks to streamlined regulations and shared economic priorities.
Why This Matters Now
Canada is at a crossroads. As global competition accelerates and economic uncertainty grows, we can no longer afford fragmented efforts. A unified coalition ensures that Canadian businesses—large and small—aren’t just keeping up, but leading the way in innovation, sustainability, and cross-border trade. Now is the time to act boldly, align nationally, and secure a future where Canadian industry thrives at home and on the world stage.
