The world is changing rapidly. In response, Canada\u2019s new government is focused on what we can control. We are building a stronger economy with an ambitious plan to catalyse $1\u00a0trillion in total investment in Canada over the next five years.<\/p>\n
Canada has what the world wants. We are a superpower in both clean and conventional energy, with vast deposits of critical minerals. We have free trade deals with countries covering 1.5\u00a0billion people and are the most-tax 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. Our government is ensuring that these strengths benefit all Canadians, as we build a Canada for all.<\/p>\n
To that end, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, today announced that the first-ever Canada Investment Summit will take place from September\u00a014 to 15, 2026, in Toronto, Ontario<\/strong>.

This Summit builds on the progress over the past 12 months: Canada has secured more than 20 new economic and defence partnerships and $97\u00a0billion in foreign investment commitment.<\/p>\n Canada\u2019s new government is building a stronger, more independent, more resilient economy. The Canada Investment Summit is critical to that mission. It will attract investment into major projects and industries that make us more competitive \u2013 clean energy, critical minerals, and new technologies and artificial intelligence. These are the sectors that create thousands of new high-paying careers, empowering Canadians to build the future they want for themselves and a stronger, more prosperous Canada for all.<\/p>\n \u201cCanada has what the world wants. We\u2019re an energy superpower, with the most educated workforce in the world and rock-solid fiscal strength.
