e-166 (Manufacturing industry)

E-petition
Initiated by Pierre Dupont from Oshawa, Ontario

Original language of petition: English

Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:
  • Manufacturing is a significant contributor to Canada’s Gross Domestic Product, accounting for more than 10% of Canada’s total GDP;
  • The current Government ignored manufacturing by failing to offer any plan to support manufacturers, specifically automotive manufacturers in their Speech from the Throne;
  • Automotive manufacturing contributes high quality middle class jobs and economic growth in Canada;
  • Government policies such as a price on carbon, raising pay roll taxes, and high energy costs are harming Canada’s ability to compete internationally.
We, the undersigned, Citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to immediately release its plan to maintain high quality, middle class manufacturing jobs and attract new automotive investment to Canada.
