10 Industries Poised to Benefit in Canada’s New Economic Climate
On October 19, 2015, Canada’s Liberal
Party and its leader Justin Trudeau
secured a majority government in one of
the largest political shifts in the country’s
history, which brought Conservative
leader Stephen Harper’s nearly 10-year
term to a close. The newly-elected Prime
Minister’s campaign includes an extensive
economic platform, substantial increases
in federal funding for many sectors of the
Canadian economy and forward-looking
strategies that may have significant
implications for 10 key industries.
Public Transportation in
Canada (48511CA)
The population densities of Canada’s
major metropolitan areas have put
increasing strain on municipal public
transportation systems. Over the
next decade, the Liberal Party aims
to quadruple federal investment in
public transportation by investing
an additional $20.0 billion toward
maintaining, improving and expanding
transportation infrastructure and
increasing service frequency to keep
up with escalating ridership.
Music Publishing in Canada (51223CA)
Along with pre-existing Canadian Radio-
television and Telecommunications
Commission requirements designed
to preserve and strengthen Canada’s
cultural identity, a target annual
investment of $360.0 million will be
budgeted for the Canada Council for the
Arts. This represents a 100.0% increase
in funding for the Council and is intended
to assist local artists, particularly
musicians, who seek adequate space to
rehearse, produce and publish their work.
Apartment Rental in Canada (53111CA)
Gradual increases in the unemployment
rate have reduced overall spending
and limited Canadians’ interest in
homeownership. In response, the Liberal
Party plans to eliminate the goods and
services tax on new capital investments
in affordable rental housing. The Party’s
economic outlook estimates that this
will result in $125.0 million per year
in tax incentives to help improve and
maintain Canada’s supply of rental

Production in Canada (51211CA)
A proposed $25.0 million increase
in funding for Telefilm Canada
and the National Film Board per
year will represent a significant
boost in industry assistance
for the Movie, Television
and Video Production industry, which
has struggled with intense competition
from foreign producers over the past
five years, growing a slim 1.7% in 2015.
Waste Treatment and Disposal
Services in Canada (56221CA)
Municipal waste treatment and disposal
services are allocated provincial and
federal funds, but often the federal
budget for these services is left unspent.
The Liberal platform includes the
automatic transfer of unspent federal
funding for municipal services to the
federal Gas Tax Fund, from which
municipalities may withdraw to
support pressing local infrastructure
needs. For example, Norris Arm,
NL used Gas Tax funding to build a
waste management facility to support
more than 100 communities.
Sawmills and Wood Production
in Canada (32111CA)
Alongside the federal government’s
increased investments toward renewable
energy, an additional $200.0 million
per year will be pledged to support
transitions to clean technologies within
Canada’s natural resource sectors.
The Sawmills and Wood Production
industry shipped an estimated $9.6
billion in timber products over 2015.
Transitioning to renewable energy can
create significant cost savings for the
industry’s largest players; industry leader

10 Industries Poised to Benefit in Canada’s New Economic Climate
Canfor Corporation took advantage
of these incentives with the purchase
of a biomass power plant in 2011.
Radio Broadcasting in
Canada (51511CA)
Canadian content laws require that radio
broadcasters air a minimum percentage
of content that has been at least partially
written, produced, performed or created
by artists in Canada. While these laws
help limit Canadian artists’ competition
with well-known international artists,
the Radio Broadcasting industry is
anticipated to decline at an annualized
3.3% over the next five years as a result of
increasingly popular subscription-based
streaming services. A planned $150.0
million annual investment in CBC/
Radio-Canada will help support industry
investment in more competitive mobile
and streaming music technologies.
Municipal Building Construction
in Canada (23622bCA)
Prime Minister Trudeau’s proposed
Canada Infrastructure Bank would
serve as a new lending authority to
provide additional capital at low
interest rates to municipal construction
projects amid weakening economic
conditions throughout Canada. This
proposal is one possible measure to
stimulate the economy beyond simply
encouraging private investment
through increased funding. Municipal
building construction declined at
an annualized 1.6% over the past
five years and stands to benefit
significantly from the proposal.
Tractors and Agricultural Machinery
Manufacturing in Canada (33311CA)
An additional $100.0 million is
slated to be funded over four years to
companies that conduct agricultural
research. For tractor and agricultural
machinery manufacturers, the
development of harvesting machinery
that uses clean exhaust scrubbing
systems can potentially be funded
by both federal agricultural research
grants and Canada’s planned clean
energy investment funding.
