LIVE: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney speaks in New York City

G7's lowest investment tax rate

Canada introduced a 'productivity super deduction' that halves the G7 average tax rate on new business investment, falling four percentage points below the United States.

$1 trillion infrastructure pipeline

The government is catalyzing $1 trillion in investment over five years across energy, transportation, data, and defense sectors.

Energy superpower expansion

Canada will export nearly 50 million tons of LNG annually by 2030 and double that capacity by 2040, while building the G7's first operational small modular reactor.

Aggressive fiscal consolidation

Ottawa cut 10% of federal civil service positions and 20% of consultant spending while reducing operational expenditure growth from 8% to under 2% annually.

Doubling market access

Canada signed over 20 economic and security deals across five continents and aims to double its addressable market to 3 billion consumers through new agreements with India, ASEAN, Mercosur, Thailand, and the Philippines.

Critical mineral security

Ottawa signed 56 agreements with more than 10 countries to unlock $18 billion in capital and reduce dependence on foreign supply chain 'chokepoints'.

European defense integration

Canada became the only non-European member of SAFE, Europe's defense procurement initiative, to build strategic autonomy in AI, critical minerals, and financial payments.

NATO spending commitment

Canada embedded a path to 4% of GDP defense spending by 2030 and 5% by 2035 in its fiscal framework, meeting alliance targets for the first time since the Cold War.

$500 billion defense industrial strategy

The plan will catalyze half a trillion dollars in investment over ten years in aerospace, shipbuilding, AI, cyber, and quantum technologies.

Arctic sovereignty buildup

Canada is establishing new military operating hubs, acquiring submarines, commissioning over-the-horizon radar, and expanding the world's largest icebreaker fleet.

Leading Ukraine support

Canada serves as one of the largest per capita contributors to the 'coalition of willing' supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression.

Deep economic integration

Canada remains America's largest customer, purchasing more goods than China, Japan, and Germany combined, with 70% of Canadian exports serving as inputs for US manufacturing.

Critical energy supplies

Canada provides 99% of US natural gas imports, 85% of electricity imports, and 60% of crude oil imports.

Proposal for sectoral partnership

Carney proposed deeper cooperation on aluminum and critical minerals, arguing that 'Canada strong will help make America great again' through reliable resource supply.

Structural inflation pressures

De-globalization and supply chain fragmentation create lasting inflationary trends as countries pay 'insurance premiums' for resilience and strategic autonomy.
