CANADA BUDGET
(FEDERAL)
@cafreeland a private sector economist is grading
your plan a “D”. I totally agree with this economist as
your plan does nothing to support near and long-
term growth!
• The focus of the budget should have provided
more clear support for key industries like
agriculture, biotech/pharmaceutical,
manufacturing, mining, forestry, and other goods-
producing sectors.

Canada like many countries must find better ways to support
taking ideas from incubation to market.
Here other areas:
 There should be no clusters. All Universities and Colleges
should receive grants base on # of students (F/T and P/T)
 Training Credits
 Refining stock market capitalization
 Streamlining of taxes and regulations.
 Tax code changes in areas like CCA and R&D

MANUFACTURING
Following the largest increase observed in seven months in January (+3.4%),
manufacturing sales fell 1.6% to $55.4 billion in February on lower sales of
transportation equipment. The declines were partially offset by higher sales in the
petroleum and coal product, chemical, and wood product industries. Source -

18. MANUFACTURING
– PATH FORWARD
Over the same 20 years that manufacturing jobs have declined, manufacturing
capabilities have advanced at an impressive rate. With the addition of
technological improvements and automated systems, manufacturers can do
more than ever. These advancements have also changed what manufacturing
jobs look like.
While we continue to see a worker shortage in the manufacturing industry, the
industry itself is growing. New jobs are opening every day because companies
are increasing their output.
Some of the biggest misconceptions regarding manufacturing jobs are the
work is dirty, the day-to-day role is repetitive, and automation is obsoleting
the need for manual roles. Despite an increase in automated systems, people
are still a critical component of the manufacturing process. Automation allows
manufacturers to increase their output, but it also provides increased
opportunities for team members.
Every manufacturing environment thrives off continuous improvement and
creativity. As automation and technology continue to play larger roles in the
manufacturing process, they present team members with countless
opportunities to learn exciting new skills and to evaluate processes to make
systemwide improvements. When companies provide on-the-job training to
help grow skill sets, it helps propel team member career paths forward.

Summary:
Manufacturing changed over the past 20 years due to many factors like
globalization, product rationalization, economy of scale, etc. Manufacturing
can play a key role as part of building a resilient supply chain, but it will
require all levels of government address their various policies in areas like
productivity or taxation and regulatory reforms or skills gaps or access to raw
materials or reducing supply chain disruption or other areas of policy. Here is

20. CHINA AND
SUPPLY CHAIN
U.S. companies trying to sustain business in China. Companies are increasingly
likely to map out a multiyear strategy for developing products geared toward the
Chinese market, based on the company’s competitive advantage over local
alternatives, and what is considered “good enough” in the target segment. One
option is to partner with a local business in China to gain access to the market
with a mandate requiring purchases from indigenous companies. For example,
Hewlett-Packard Enterprise has a successful partnership with H3C that opens
the Chinese enterprise IT market for HPE.
In addition, U.S. companies might look to acquire assets or build new business
models in segments where China or the Eastern Bloc has a strength that the U.S.
lacks, such as 5G equipment.
Another key decision: Many companies are considering a “China-plus-one”
supply chain model to reduce dependence on Chinese suppliers, add
redundancy and increase resilience.
