Canada must mobilize unprecedented levels of capital to strengthen our sovereignty, build economic resilience and create new opportunities for Canadians.

The Canada Investment Summit offers an important opportunity to showcase our country’s many strengths to international investors, and to turn investor interest into action in the years ahead.

Canada has what the world needs: world-class talent, abundant natural resources, reliable energy, critical minerals, food and enormous potential in emerging sectors. The federal government, to its credit, has taken essential steps to strengthen Canada’s competitiveness, attract investment and unlock its full economic potential.

We congratulate Prime Minister Carney and summit co-hosts John Graham and Deborah Orida on convening this important conversation, and we look forward to seeing it become an annual event.

Canada’s future economic strength will depend on our ability to attract investment, turn ambition into action and build with confidence.
