Podcasts about canadian manufacturers

In this episode of Five Questions, Five Answers, Birgit Matthiesen and Ryan Greer of the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME) discuss the current challenges facing Canadian manufacturers due to impending US tariffs and the broader implications for the bilateral trade relationship. Ryan emphasizes the interconnectedness of Canadian and US manufacturing sectors and the potential negative impacts of tariffs on both sides of the border. He also provides insight into a possible retaliation strategy by Ottawa and shares his views on the future of North American manufacturing. Takeaways US tariffs pose significant challenges for Canadian manufacturers and their US customers. Retaliation strategies are being considered by the Canadian government. The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement remains vital for trade relations between Canada and the United States. Past the imposition of tariffs, reducing regulatory burdens is essential for competitiveness. The future of manufacturing is uncertain but requires deeper integration. Lesson to emerge is that crisis can lead to opportunities for the NA manufacturing sector.

We take a look at what a trade war between Canada and the U.S. means for jobs and industry in our province. Live in the On the Go studio: Jessica McCormick, head of the province's Federation of Labour and Mark Gillingham, the NL representative on the national board of directors of the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters who's also president of PolyUnity, an NL-based tech company. (Guest-host Andrew Hawthorn with Jessica McCormick and Mark Gillingham)

With over 1.8 million Canadians working in the manufacturing sector, and over $600 billion in Canadian exports to the United States, President Trump's potential tariffs will certainly impact a decades-long trade ecosystem. The impact of such tariffs will extend far beyond manufacturing, with senior economists warning that the ripple effects will, disrupt supply chains and the existing world order, possibly driving Canada into a recession.A recent survey by Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters found that only 11% of manufacturers believe they can fully absorb tariff costs and only for a limited time. What does this mean for the future of Canada's integrated trading relationship with the U.S., and our ability to make goods together? What are the long-term potential impacts to Canadian markets and, most importantly, how can Canada's governments and Canadians protect against this threat and support this important sector beyond the impending trade negotiations?With Canadian jobs, and the economy at stake, bold action and leadership are required.Don't miss out on February 19, 2025, as the Empire Club of Canada joins forces with Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters to present Manufacturing and Exporting in the New World Order – Trade, Tariffs and Trump. This event will feature a distinguished panel of experts, including Dawn Desjardins, Chief Economist at Deloitte Canada; Simon Drexler, President of Samuel Automation; David Glover, Co-owner of Harbour Technologies; and Rob Wildeboer, Executive Chairman of Martinrea International Inc. The discussion, moderated by Vincent Caron, Vice President of Ontario Government Relations and Member Advocacy at Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, will address the pressing challenges of trade and Canadian sovereignty. The content presented is free of charge but please note that the Empire Club of Canada retains copyright.

Canada's labour force isn't growing fast enough to keep up with the aging population.  On one hand we have a labour supply challenge. But, on the other hand the workers we do have don't always have the skill sets that we need today, but particularly into the future.  My guests this episode are both actively working to reshape our skills development and labour market preparedness for students today so that they can fill the labour market demands of tomorrow.  We explore how educational institutions are evolving to better equip students for workplaces and how better relationships between employers, educators and the K-12 system are starting to reshape how skills are taught and how people can gain a better understanding of the career options that are available to them.About our guests:Dr. Jane Goodyer is Dean of the Lassonde School of Engineering at York University in Toronto. As chief academic and administrative officer, Jane leads an inclusive community of engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs toward achieving Lassonde's strategic academic goals. Before joining Lassonde, she worked at Massey University, New Zealand, in various leadership roles, including Head of the School of Engineering and Advanced Technology. Having led New Zealand's first Degree Apprenticeship pilot program, she's now introducing this extraordinary first in Canada. Jane is driven to make education more accessible, advancing women and other underrepresented groups in engineering while breaking down systemic barriers. Ian Howcroft is the CEO of Skills Ontario, an organization dedicated to promoting careers in the skilled trades and technologies.  Previously, Howcroft was the Ontario Vice President of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, a company he worked with for nearly three decades.He earned an L.L.B from Western University, as well as an Honours B.A. in History and Political Science from McMaster University.Additional links:https://lassonde.yorku.ca/digital-technologies www.skillsontario.com

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail. We have the Honourable Perrin Beatty here with us today. Mr. Beatty is the President and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Canada's largest national business association. Prior to joining the Chamber, he was the President and Chief Executive of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters. Business has always been in his blood, and this is the part of his life that we'll largely be focussing on today. But he's probably known to most as the long serving Progressive Conservative MP first elected to Parliament at the age of 22! And a Minister of 7 different departments including National Revenue, Solicitor General and Secretary of State for External Affairs. In 2018, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada for his contributions to the development of our nation as a politician and corporate leader. So, here's where we're going with this conversation:We're going to talk investment vs spending in the context of long-term growth. How unaligned the parties seem to be when it comes to business interests. What is the business community's view of increasing inequality? And why is there increasing disengagement of business people from the political life of the country.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Last week, Volkswagen announced it will build its first overseas electric vehicle battery gigafactory in St. Thomas, Ontario. The federal and provincial governments declined to say what they'd paid to lure Volkswagen to Canada rather than the U.S. but the Financial Times reported the price was around $15 billion. That's a lot of public money going to subsidize a private company, even one that will support thousands of jobs. So this week, on “It's Political” we take a look at what's driving the case for big subsidies, and how Canada is adopting a green new industrial policy with little public debate. First, we'll hear from stakeholders and experts on the impact of the United States' Inflation Reduction Act, and what it could mean here, north of the U.S. border. Then, we'll sit down with the man some have dubbed Canada's energizer bunny, Innovation, Science and Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne. In this episode: Minister Champagne, Lana Payne, the national president of Unifor, Matt Poirier, senior policy director with the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, John Lester, an executive fellow at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary, Marisa Beck,  director of Clean Growth with the Canadian Climate Institute, Jean Simard, the president and CEO of the Aluminum Association of Canada, Brian Kingston, the president and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association, and Genevieve Dufour, a professor of trade law at the University of Sherbrooke. Hosted by Althia Raj Some of the clips this week were sourced from: CPAC, the House of Commons, The White House, CTV, CBC, The Andrew Lawton Show, Street Sport Television Car show and PBS. “It's Political” is produced by Althia Raj and Michal Stein.
