To strengthen Canadian competitiveness, we strongly urge the incoming government to take the following action:
- Unlock private sector investments through competitive tax policies that level the playing field with other jurisdictions, particularly the U.S., such as accelerated depreciation or investment tax credits on infrastructure and supply chain investments.
- Reform regulatory processes for the approval of infrastructure and major resource projects so that decisions are made quickly, with timing predictability clear from the outset, while allowing for adequate public consultation.
- Modernize Canada’s labour laws to mitigate economic harm and improve supply chain reliability by establishing a clear and transparent process to resolve disputes rapidly in the transportation sector.
