13. Transportation of fuel
We need to focus on getting natural resources to market in the most
environmental and economically way.
• Cargo ships – CO2 - https://phys.org/news/2018-12-cargo-ships-emitting-boatloads-

• Transportation systems will continue to evolved with less dependent on fuels like diesel
• Government needs to prioritized the investment into infrastructure that supports getting goods to market -

• Supply chain management policies need to change. All levels of government need to support the most efficient and
sustainable way to get goods to market - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/how-best-to-reshore-supply-chains or

14. Blog – Natural Resources
Farmers
• The economic squeeze on U.S. producers is tightening after six years of decline in U.S. farm profits, which fell last year to
$69.4 billion, half of the $136.1 billion in 2013. Prices of key commodities such as corn and soybeans have declined
while the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown has cut into migrant labor. Midwestern states were hit with
historic floods this spring.
• The trade war struck another blow, as key importers of U.S. agricultural products such as China, Canada and Mexico
have retaliated against Trump’s tariffs with duties targeting American farmers.

@JustinTrudeau relies on @gmbutts to define economic policies. The problem is Butts and his advisers have zero interest
in the maximization of both the AG and Natural Resources Sector https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/canada-

https://slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/whats-next-for-natural-gas-
analysis-of-policy-canada Why is your govt not doing more to support
LNG/Natural Gas?
@ElizabethMay not word from you on the ship LNG to Inuvik, why?

16. Manufacturing
Canada needs to re-focus on manufacturing including policies that will support
local manufacturing
• Advance manufacturing – more and more companies will be using technology like 3-D
printing, robots and other automation tools -
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/technology-what-needs-to-happen-for-
canada-and-the-world
• All levels of governments should be promoting Canada based products over importing
products - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/canada-steel-sector-may-2020
• More emphasis on the skill trades in areas like automation, welding, plumbing, electrical
and other trades - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/what-are-skills-required-
to-have-a-successful-career
• Revamping regulations and taxes to better support startups -
https://www.canadianbusiness.com/lists-and-rankings/growth-500/2019-ranking-g500/
• Canada post-COVID19 needs to ensure manufacturing continues to prosper in Canada -

trudeau-liberal-government-of-canada-april-2020-and-may-2020

17. Blog – Oil and Gas
• “In Canada, $16 billion has been put down to support the oil and gas industries, compared with $300 million for clean
energy” - https://www.canadianmanufacturing.com/environment-and-safety/aid-for-energy-heavily-weighted-towards-
fossil-fuels-in-covid-19-response-257268/
• Clean Technology needs to be viable! https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/canada-clean-technolgy-and-the-
green-economy
• Oil plays a key role in areas like plastic, roads, roofing, etc. Oil needs to be treated as a strategic product -
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/what-is-going-on-with-oil
@cathmckenna @Greenpeace @DavidSuzukiFDN @MikeSchreiner
• Nearly 83% of Canada's power generation comes from clean sources
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/electricty-the-grid-whats-next-for-co2-emissions
• There needs to be more balanced between the environment and the economy -
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/clean-technology-the-green-economy

18. Forestry Management
• Wood, Pulp and paper still play a key role with the world economy
• There are many issues facing forestry management
• Deforestation
• Poor forest management practices
• Disease

19. WTO - Reforms
• @jimcarr_wpg are you pushing to reform the WTO or are you just going to
appoint people that support the current WTO agenda?

eu-plan-to-help-wto-deal-with-trump-disruption-carr-233803/ or
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/global-protection-and-subsidies-analysis-
and-commentary
• @KamalaHarris @AOC @JoeBiden @SpeakerPelosi @Ilhan
• How come nothing is mentioned about reforming WTO? The democrats in 2001
pushed for China to join the WTO https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/china-
whats-next-236622252

20. Competitiveness
July 15, 2020
• “The central bank sees a long, slow recovery and will keep its quantitative easing programs in place until that recovery is “well under way,” Bank
of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem told reporters after the decision.” https://www.reuters.com/article/us-canada-cenbank/bank-of-canada-sees-
economy-below-pre-covid-levels-until-2022-with-rates-remaining-low-idUSKCN24G204
Canada has struggle with being competitive in terms of attracting FDI - https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/dip-in-foreign-investment-into-canada-
masks-best-year-since-oil-shock-1.1354805 . Canada needs to fix policies that will enable it to be more competitive -
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/business-competitiveness-canada
Here are examples of poorly constructed policies
• Poorly constructed small business tax reforms
• Implementation of a carbon taxation
• Excessive regulations when it comes to Natural Resources, AG sector, and other sectors
There are concerns that goods producing sector will face the same pressure during the 1980-1983 recession:
• High unemployment - https://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/unemployment-reaches-all-time-high-in-1982
• Interest rates where high in 1980 - https://www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/the-market/remember-when-what-have-we-learned-from-80s-interest-
rates/article24398735/. Rates likely will slowly rise. The bigger issue is the size of debt now held by Canadians as well as others around the world -
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/debt-consumer-government-and-corporate-debt-crisis
• Job quality has to be address as part of supporting income growth - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/search_my_uploads?type=&new=&q=job+qual
• Govt debt and deficits are becoming an enormous issues - https://www.macdonaldlaurier.ca/size-of-government-in-canada/ or
