Canada has what the world wants. We are a superpower in both clean and conventional energy, with vast deposits of critical minerals. We are the best-connected economy in the world, with free trade deals covering 1.5\u00a0billion consumers. We are by far the most competitive country in the G7 for new business investment. We have one of the world\u2019s most educated workforces, the lowest net debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7, and the fiscal capacity to act decisively. Since forming government, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has focused on leveraging these strengths to catalyse $1\u00a0trillion of new investment and create more growth, opportunity, and prosperity for Canadians.<\/p>\n
To that end,\u00a0the Prime Minister convened the first Canada Investment Summit. Hosted in partnership with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) and the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments), the Summit brought together investors from nearly 30 countries, managing more than $100\u00a0trillion in assets. They came to Toronto because they see Canada\u2019s economic strength and ambition \u2013 and they want to invest in it.<\/p>\n
The Canada Investment Summit laid the foundation for enormous new investment and strategic partnerships, while accelerating existing negotiations \u2013\u00a0resulting in nearly $500\u00a0billion in new investment commitments to Canada.<\/p>\n
Canada\u2019s leading pension funds, insurers, and institutional investors committed nearly $100\u00a0billion in new capital to Canadian assets:<\/p>\n

They will provide investee companies with access to commercialisation opportunities, strategic partnerships, and expansion support that are often unavailable through traditional investors.<\/p>\n
Investment funds committed to mobilise more than $14\u00a0billion in capital to grow Canadian companies, infrastructure, and strategic sectors:<\/p>\n
Power Sustainable will invest and mobilise more than $10\u00a0billion for Canadian infrastructure, including power and grid, fibre and data, environmental solutions, and food supply chains.Radical Ventures will invest and mobilise $4\u00a0billion to launch the Radical Breakouts Fund, the largest venture capital fund of its kind in Canadian history, supporting Canadian AI scale-ups across the technology stack.<\/p>\n
On the margins of the Summit, Bell Canada,in partnership with the Government of Saskatchewan, announced a\u00a0historic expansion of the Bell AI Fabric<\/a>\u00a0to build a 1.2-gigawatt Canadian AI infrastructure hub in Saskatchewan. This $52.5\u00a0billion capital investment is the largest in the province\u2019s history and is expected to create more than 4,500 jobs across construction, operations, management, and related services.<\/p>\n To build on this momentum and unlock even more investment, Prime Minister Carney\u00a0announced<\/a> the game-changing new Productivity Mega Deduction, which will allow businesses to deduct the cost of a much broader range of assets right away,\u00a0including fibre-optic cable, mining property, oil and gas pipelines, software, research and development, computer equipment, aircraft and vehicles, patents, rail track, bridges, and roads. The federal government is also making immediate expensing permanent so businesses can recover these costs sooner. The new Productivity Mega Deduction means Canada\u2019s\u00a0marginal effective tax rate on new business investment will fall from roughly 13% to 6.4% \u2013 the lowest of any major economy in the world and less than half the rate in the United States.<\/p>\n To further unleash capital, the Prime Minister announced that Canada will seek private investment through long-term concessions to operate Canada\u2019s four largest airports. Working with airport authorities and other stakeholders, including airlines and local governments, the federal government will retain ownership of the underlying land and assets, while also bringing in new private capital. The tens of billions of dollars of capital raised would then be reinvested into building the infrastructure that Canada needs for the next generation: regional airports, new local transportation infrastructure, and new nation-building infrastructure, including a sovereign broadband backbone that connects Canadians from coast to coast to coast.<\/p>\n The government also made landmark new investments in two sectors central to Canada\u2019s competitiveness: defence and critical minerals. Through the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), the federal government will deploy $700\u00a0million in new funding to accelerate growth in Canadian defence and dual-use technologies, including $500\u00a0million across specialised investment funds and $200\u00a0million for StrongNorth, increasing the fund from $300\u00a0million to $500\u00a0million. These investments are part of the BDC\u2019s $6\u00a0billion Defence Platform, which helps Canadian companies scale, innovate, and compete globally through financing, investment, and advisory support. The government also committed approximately $140\u00a0million through the Canada Growth Fund to support Generation Mining\u2019s Marathon Project in Northwestern Ontario \u2013 one of Canada\u2019s only fully permitted, shovel-ready critical minerals projects. The project will produce copper and palladium, strengthening domestic supply and building more resilient North American supply chains.<\/p>\n Business leaders, investors, and financial institutions are mobilising behind Canada\u2019s bold new vision to build, innovate, and lead in a changing world, and the impact on Canada and Canadians will be profound. These agreements will catalyse nearly $500\u00a0billion of investment into Canadian workers, businesses, and industries \u2013 in energy, critical minerals, new technologies, and AI \u2013 create thousands of new high-paying careers, and bolster our strategic autonomy. The Canada Investment Summit advanced our most important mission of building a stronger, more independent, more resilient Canadian economy for all.<\/p>\n Quotes<\/p>\n \u201cThe\u00a0Canada\u00a0Investment Summit brought the world to Canada with a clear message: Canada is building big.
