How global trade of our resources benefits Canadians
- Creates and protects good jobs: When Canada sells to the world, more opportunities open up for workers and businesses from coast to coast to coast
- Funds public services: Export revenue helps fund healthcare, infrastructure and other essential public services that Canadians rely on
- Builds a more resilient economy: Selling to diverse markets creates stable demand for Canadian products, protects supply chains and supports long-term growth
Expanding our natural resources to global markets
Connecting to new markets attracts investment, supports local workers and businesses and builds more resilient communities.
Investment in Canada’s resources from global markets strengthens energy security and builds shared economic prosperity.
Strong environmental protections and labour standards
Canada has clear and robust standards that support responsible energy and natural resource projects. This helps keep workers and communities safe and protects the environment. Our high standards build trust at home and abroad, making Canada’s highly skilled workforce a reliable global partner and supplier while protecting our land, people and values.
