MP Report: Canada steps forward when others need us
The report says Canada must diversify its economy, strengthen defence and build new market links as artificial intelligence, climate change and competition reshape the world.
Canada faces a consequential period as the world changes quickly, with long-standing assumptions about trade and security being challenged. The country must confront these reshaped forces while continuing to stand with friends and allies abroad.
Canadians have repeatedly answered the call, fighting in Korea, standing through the Cold War, and serving in Afghanistan. These contributions helped defend peace and security while building friendships that remain part of our strength today.
Artificial intelligence, automation, and a changing climate are transforming how countries compete. Canada enters this moment with advantages including natural resources, energy, and a geography connecting the Indo-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas.
Deepening relationships with countries that share values is essential, alongside diversifying the economy and building infrastructure to new markets. Supporting entrepreneurs ensures Canada thrives as a reliable partner in this transformed landscape.
Every generation inherits the country and has a duty to protect it. When circumstances demand more, Canadians have demonstrated an ability to come together, ensuring the nation emerges strong from this period of transformation.
