Carney to showcase Canada's capital agenda at first-ever investment summit
The province says the projects could draw $30 billion in investment as officials seek backers for nuclear, port and dam work.
Prime Minister Mark Carney will host Canada’s first national investment summit in Toronto on September 14 and 15 to attract investment and address the country’s lack of business investment.
Hundreds of global and domestic investors will attend the summit, where premiers Danielle Smith, Scott Moe, and Susan Holt will present major projects including energy, minerals, ports, and infrastructure.
Carney aims to catalyze $1 trillion in investments over five years, highlighting Canada’s strengths in policy stability, openness to capital, and opportunities in the energy sector.
Despite increasing foreign direct investment, challenges such as regulatory barriers and Indigenous stakeholder engagement remain, with discussions likely addressing Canada-U.S. trade relations.
