Canada Investment Strategy Focuses on Infrastructure and Energy
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney will travel to New York City later this week to promote Canada as a leading destination for global investment as the federal government continues its push to attract major infrastructure, energy, and industrial development projects.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, Carney will visit New York from May 27 to 28, where he is expected to meet with investors, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and financial leaders.
The trip comes as the federal government pursues an economic strategy aimed at catalyzing $1 trillion in investment across Canada over the next five years.
Economic Club of New York Address Planned
During the visit, Prime Minister Carney will deliver remarks at the Economic Club of New York outlining the federal government’s economic agenda and investment strategy.
The Prime Minister’s Office said the trip is intended to position Canada as a stable and competitive market for international investors during a period of global economic uncertainty.
In a statement released Sunday, Carney described Canada as an “energy superpower” with strong economic fundamentals and growing investment opportunities.
“We’re catalysing unprecedented levels of new investment,” Carney said.
Canada Promoting Infrastructure and Critical Minerals
The federal government highlighted several areas it believes make Canada attractive to investors, including:
- Critical minerals development
- Energy infrastructure
- Artificial intelligence and technology sectors
- Nuclear and electricity projects
- Transportation infrastructure
Officials also pointed to Canada’s trade access through 16 free trade agreements covering 51 countries and approximately 1.5 billion consumers globally.
The government says Canada’s Major Projects Office is currently advancing 22 infrastructure and industrial projects representing more than $126 billion in investment potential.
Federal Government Emphasizes Economic Stability
The Prime Minister’s Office also emphasized Canada’s:
- AAA credit rating
- Low net debt-to-GDP ratio among G7 countries
- Banking stability rankings
- Educated workforce
- Tax competitiveness measures
Federal officials noted that foreign investment levels in Canada recently reached their highest point in two decades.
The visit to New York follows several recent announcements tied to Canada’s broader economic and industrial strategy, including initiatives related to critical minerals, energy infrastructure, electricity expansion, and skilled trades recruitment.
Canada Seeking Long-Term Investment Growth
The federal government says approximately $280 billion in public investments and incentives are expected to support more than $1 trillion in combined public and private investment over the next five years.
The Prime Minister’s Office said the strategy is designed to strengthen Canada’s long-term economic resilience while reducing reliance on volatile global supply chains.
