Canadian Manufacturing Coalition Network and Action group

Speaking out with one voice about the future

The Canadian Manufacturing Coalition, led by CME President & CEO Jayson Myers, brings together more than 48 industry associations united by a common vision of a world-class manufacturing sector that will continue to ensure that Canadians enjoy strong economic growth and high-value, high-paying jobs. The coalition speaks with one voice about the importance of manufacturing and about what must be done to ensure a competitive business environment for manufacturing in Canada.

Accounting for 1.8 million high-paying, full-time jobs for Canadians, and more than 20% of Canada's GDP, the Canadian Manufacturing Coalition's membership includes virtually all of the manufacturers and exporters in every aspect of the value-adding business sector in Canada. We speak together about the urgency of responding to the challenges that manufacturers face now and in the future.

Policy priorities for manufacturing

Investing in the future of manufacturing is key to Canada's economic livelihood. Sure, companies need to continue being innovative, competitive and responsive. But they need our government to support investments in new technologies, in research and development and in a skilled workforce.
