The framers of the United Nations Charter knew that we go farther when we go together. They chose openness over isolationism, cooperation over rivalry, open palms over closed fists.

Throughout the pandemic, the Government of Canada has always put the health and well-being of Canadians first. Beginning last spring, the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) has helped almost 9 million Canadians and their families make ends meet and stay safe. While many Canadians have been able to go back to work safely, there continue to be many who are unable to find work or are underemployed due to the ongoing public health crisis. This fall, as the Government transitions from the CERB to a flexible and more accessible Employment Insurance (EI) program, it is also continuing to support workers in need who do not qualify for EI, and providing new support that will allow Canadians to stay home when they are sick.

Employment and Social Development Canada2020-10-02T17:40:34-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/news/2020/10/backgrounder.html

Bill C-4, the COVID-19 Response Measures Act (the Act), received Royal Assent on October 2, 2020. The legislation allows the Government of Canada to support Canadian workers through the next phase of the recovery, and to avoid a gap in coverage after they have received their last Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) payments.

Canada’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan has helped protect millions of jobs, provide emergency support to families, and keep businesses afloat as they deal with the impact of COVID-19. A central part of this is the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF), which helps support those who may not be eligible for other programs. Since the Fund was launched in May, over 12,000 businesses have been assisted through the RRRF, helping them keep their employees, cover costs and play a role in our economic recovery. It has been a lifeline for more than 762 businesses and organizations in Northern Ontario that might otherwise not have survived, helping to maintain more than 3,300 jobs in the region.

Canada’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan has helped to protect millions of jobs, provide emergency support to families and keep businesses afloat as they deal with the impact of COVID-19. A central part of this is the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund, which helps support those who may not be eligible for other programs. A lifeline for businesses that might otherwise not have survived, the RRRF has been vital in helping them keep their employees, pay bills and get access to capital.

We, the signatories, are deeply troubled by and condemn the recently reported and ongoing use of partial and complete Internet shutdowns, as well as targeted content blocking, by the Government of Belarus in the aftermath of the fraudulent 2020 Belarusian presidential elections. Shutdowns and blocking or filtering of services unjustifiably limit the rights of peaceful assembly and freedoms of association and expression, especially when they lack procedural fairness and transparency. In conjunction with restrictive measures and intimidation employed against opposition candidates and the mass arrests and detentions of Belarusian civil society members and journalists, actions to limit access to the Internet, including social media and other digital communication platforms, further erode civic space. We will continue to stand with the people of Belarus, who are making their voices heard in spite of these oppressive measures, and we are especially heartened by the critical and central role women are playing in calling for fairness and accountability.

Since the beginning of the pandemic the Government of Canada has taken action to provide Canadians with the health and financial support needed to help contain the spread of COVID-19. Since it was launched, the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) has been an important income support for over 8.5 million Canadians and their families, who have had to stop working due to the pandemic. As the country continues to gradually and safely restart the economy, over 1.6 million Canadians have been able to return to work. However, we know that not all sectors are re-opening at the same pace. That’s why the Government is preparing to transition as many Canadians as possible back to the Employment Insurance (EI) system at the end of month.

Since the very beginning of this pandemic, the Government of Canada has taken a number of important steps to ensure the safe arrival of farm workers, who play a vital role in preserving Canada’s food security. To protect the health and safety of Canadian and migrant farm workers, the Government has been working with municipal, provincial and territorial governments, as well as farmers, workers and other employers who participate in the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program. Despite these efforts, there have been COVID-19 outbreaks on a number of Canadian farms that have significantly impacted the health and safety of workers.

The Government of Canada recognizes the vital role temporary foreign workers play in supporting food security in key sectors such as agriculture, agri-food, and fish and seafood processing that are critical to the Canadian economy.

The National Security Act (2017) was passed into law on June 21, 2019. The Act includes a number of measures to enhance Canada’s national security framework and keep Canadians safe, while respecting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the values of our free and democratic society.

More than three decades ago when the CSIS Act was first drafted, the threat landscape was dominated by the Cold War. The intelligence community had the luxury of watching spies over a long period of time, perhaps years. The activities of Cold war spies were incremental and predictable.

To pursue its mandate effectively, CSIS must be confident that it has the legal framework and tools to investigate threats to national security and to advise Government accordingly. The work to begin modernizing the CSIS Act serves to address the challenges posed by outdated legislation. It also aims to enhance the transparency and accountability regime under which CSIS operates - a consideration repeatedly emphasized during the Government of Canada’s public consultations on national security.

The Convention seeks to address desertification and mitigate the effects of drought through national action programs that spell out long-term strategies, which are supported by international cooperation. Dryland ecosystems cover more than a third of the world’s land area and are often subject to inappropriate land use and overuse, as people strive to meet the immediate food, water and energy needs of their families. We know that as land degrades, political instability, conflict and migration increase—with devastating consequences for the land and the people who live on it.

Most vessel owners are responsible and maintain and dispose of their vessels properly. However, the small percentage who are not responsible can create significant impacts on our coastal communities, with the burden for costly clean-up often falling on Canadian taxpayers.

The fishing industry is integral to the economic and social fabric of hundreds of coastal communities in Atlantic Canada, generating over $2.3 billion a year for the Canadian economy. For generations, many Atlantic Canadians have depended on fishing as a livelihood - it is woven into the hearts of their communities. Since the 1970s, inshore policies have been in place in an effort to make sure that the benefits of the Atlantic and Quebec inshore fishery stay with fish harvesters and their communities.

Coastal communities across Canada are supported by small craft harbours that provide the commercial fishing industry with safe and accessible facilities.

Beginning July 11, 2019, Canada and the U.S. will exchange basic biographic entry information (such as full names and date of birth) on all travellers at the land border, so that entry into one country serves as an exit record from the other. This initiative will help Canada make better, timely decisions on border management, law enforcement, national security, citizenship applications, immigration, and social services. This significant milestone is the result of the coming into force of Bill C-21, An Act to amend the Customs Act, and associated regulations, which provide authorities for the CBSA to collect exit information on all travellers departing Canada, including Canadians.

Canada Border Services Agency2019-07-11T14:45:42-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/border-services-agency/news/2019/07/entryexit-initiative.html

Biographic entry information is routinely collected directly from all travellers entering Canada upon presentation to a CBSA officer at a port of entry as part of the primary inspection process. Canada also collects exit information for those who leave the country by land (i.e. land mode). With the coming into force of Bill C-21, An Act to amend the Customs Act, and associated regulations, Canada receives biographic entry information from the U.S. on all travellers who enter the U.S. through a land border crossing, thereby enabling the creation of a Canadian exit record.

As innovation and technology continue to change how we live and work, Canadian workers are met with new challenges and opportunities. That is why it is more important than ever before to ensure Canadians benefit from an innovation-driven economy—and it means ensuring both employed and unemployed individuals have a chance to learn the skills they will need for the jobs of today, as well as the jobs of tomorrow.

Canada’s oceans, lakes and rivers are important to the millions of people and Indigenous communities that depend on them for work, food, and recreation. However, changes that were made to the Fisheries Act in 2012 challenged our ability to protect fish and fish habitat. Canadians, including Indigenous peoples as well as industry and environmental groups, expressed concerns with these changes and how they were made. That is why, in 2016 the Government of Canada took action to strengthen and restore lost protections and incorporate modern safeguards to the Fisheries Act.

Employee stock options, which provide employees with the right to acquire shares of their employer at a designated price, are an alternative compensation method used by businesses to attract and engage employees, and encourage growth. Many smaller, growing companies, such as start-ups, do not have significant profits and may have challenges with cash flow, limiting their ability to provide adequate salaries to hire talented employees. Employee stock options can help these companies attract and retain talented employees by allowing them to provide a form of compensation that is linked to the future success of the company.

Violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations across the globe.

By engaging youth and providing culturally relevant resources and opportunities to learn, we can help foster positive relationships and end teen dating violence.

Gender-based violence—including violence against people based on their gender expression, gender identity or perceived gender—is a significant cause of harm and a preventable barrier to gender equality.

One of the ways the Department for Women and Gender Equality advances gender equality in Canada is by providing funding to eligible organizations through the Women’s Program. Projects are selected via calls for proposals on specific themes, as well as through a continuous intake process that allows the Women’s Program to address emerging issues as they arise.

Women’s organizations provide vital services to our communities, supporting women and girls to be financially secure, free from violence, and able to fully participate in all aspects of our economy and society. Yet for far too long they have been chronically underfunded, underestimated and undermined. The Government of Canada recognizes that women’s organizations are the lifeblood of the women’s movement, and that maintaining and growing their ability to do this important work is the most effective way to advance gender equality.

Every Canadian deserves a safe and affordable place to call home. Yet for too many hard-working Canadians, especially for young people, it feels like an impossibility. There aren’t enough houses for people to buy, or apartments for people to rent. That makes finding a good place to live too expensive – beyond what many people can afford. The measures in Budget 2019 will help to increase the supply of housing, and help more middle class families find an affordable home today through new, targeted support for first-time home buyers.

Canada’s Atlantic Ocean is one of the most productive marine environments in the world. It is home to an abundance of biodiversity from crabs, to lobsters and wild fish stocks, and supports more than 55,000 jobs in industries like fishing, aquaculture and tourism.

The Government of Canada knows that strong markets for our high-quality Canadian canola means more money in the pockets of our famers and supports good, middle class jobs for Canadian farm families, and that is why we are working hard to support farmers and producers and ensure that high-quality Canadian canola reaches markets around the world.

Reaching Home is designed to support the goals of the National Housing Strategy, in particular to support the most vulnerable Canadians in maintaining safe, stable and affordable housing and to reduce chronic homelessness nationally by 50 percent by 2027–28. Reaching Home puts communities at the forefront of tackling homelessness. While Housing First remains the model supported by the Government of Canada, and an effective tool to reduce homelessness, we chose to give communities more flexibility in how they use their funding to meet local needs, including the needs of vulnerable populations such as young people, LGBTQ2 communities, women fleeing violence, racialized communities, veterans and persons with disabilities.

The investments the Government of Canada has made in people, in our communities and in our economy are working.

The Government’s plan to invest in the middle class and in the economy is working. Canada is now the fastest growing economy in the Group of Seven (G7) (Chart 1).

Youth unemployment is at a historic low, and gross domestic product (GDP) growth is forecast to be 3.1 per cent in 2017—significantly above expectations at the beginning of the year.

During the public comment process, Canada also raised concerns with the lack of quantitative analyses to inform this decision and the lack of fulsome consideration of the impacts on birds crossing our borders.”

The tools available in the Canada Labour Code to address non-compliance of Part II (Occupational Health and Safety) and Part III (Labour Standards)—such as Assurances of Voluntary Compliance (AVCs), directions, payment orders and prosecution—were mostly put in place in the 1960s. While these existing tools are important and still needed, more tools are needed for situations that are more serious than can be managed with voluntary compliance measures and existing directions and orders, but not as serious as those situations where criminal prosecution is the best option. Having different tools that are appropriate for different types of situations will help the Labour Program to ensure that hard-working Canadians work in safe and healthy workplaces where their rights are respected.

The ice is too thin to allow for safe activities, so we recommend not going on the ice.

The COVID-19 pandemic has tested Canadians in many ways. However, as Canadians work together in the fight against COVID-19, they must continue to plan for the future. For some, this includes saving for their child’s education after high school. Supporting families and at-risk communities, and making it easier for them to prepare for life’s important milestones, is a core part of the Government’s plan to build a stronger and more resilient country.

Employment and Social Development Canada2021-02-03T17:02:44-05:00https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/news/2021/02/canada-learning-bond0.html

Government of Canada programs and initiatives support Canadians from infancy to adulthood, including by making post-secondary education more accessible, providing their first job experiences, and helping them care for their young families. Some parents may feel that saving for their children’s education is out of reach, but more awareness of—and easier access to—the supports available to them can alleviate this concern. When money is less of an issue, young people are motivated to pursue higher education and to graduate with less debt.

Mendicino, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced several new initiatives to help more Hong Kong residents come to Canada.

The Regional County Municipality (RCM) of La Rivière-du-Nord would like to develop better waste management practices, mainly by significantly reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill and by diverting the materials within its territory. The RCM currently manages four eco-centres that recover 900 tonnes of waste per year, and that accept only materials that are fit to be resold. This project will allow the RCM to build new infrastructure, including a reuse store, a new energy-efficient eco-centre in Saint-Jérôme and a renovated eco-centre in Saint-Hippolyte, and to process construction, renovation, and demolition (CRD) waste as well as non reusable bulky waste. In addition, the network will have the ability to receive industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) waste and waste from small contractors. This recycling service offer is also aligned with the objectives of the Québec Policy on Residual Materials and will make it possible to increase revenues.

In June 2018, the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act became law, ensuring that it is no longer free to pollute anywhere in Canada. A price on carbon pollution provides an incentive for climate action and innovation, and in jurisdictions where the federal backstop applies, it puts more money in the pockets of the majority of families. It is a proven, efficient, and cost-effective way of reducing emissions.

On April 19, 2021, Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, issued the following statement on COVID-19.

Public Health Agency of Canada2021-04-19T11:31:40-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/04/budget-2021-housing.html

A long-term plan for a faster-growing Canadian economy must include housing that is affordable for working Canadians, especially young families. Stable housing is critical for communities and for a strong middle class.

Department of Finance Canada2021-04-20T14:30:21-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/04/budget-2021-low-wage-workers.html

The worst economic impacts of the pandemic have been suffered by those who could least afford it. Low-wage workers have been up to six times more likely to suffer layoffs than wealthy Canadians.

Department of Finance Canada2021-05-12T23:18:18-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/04/budget-2021-supporting-tourism-hospitality-arts-and-culture.html

The impact of COVID-19 on workers and businesses in tourism, arts, and culture has been severe. With the rollout of vaccines underway, businesses in the tourism, arts, and culture sectors are getting ready to welcome Canadians back to experience the great places and activities this country has to offer—when it is safe to do so. Canadians are also eager to return to the local festivals and places they know and love.

Department of Finance Canada2021-05-12T22:35:02-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/04/budget-2021-supporting-women.html

COVID-19 has affected all Canadians, but women have been disproportionately affected. In the labour market, women were hit earlier and harder, and their jobs continue to recover more slowly. Long-standing gender inequities have only been amplified over the course of the pandemic—and it has put decades of hard-fought gains for women in the workplace at risk.

Department of Finance Canada2021-05-12T23:01:49-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/04/budget-2021-strong-indigenous-communities.html

No relationship is more important to the federal government than the relationship with Indigenous peoples. The federal government continues to work with Indigenous peoples to build a nation-to-nation, Inuit-Crown, government-to-government relationship—one based on respect, partnership, and recognition of rights.

Department of Finance Canada2021-05-12T23:09:25-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/04/budget-2021-a-canada-wide-early-learning-and-child-care-plan.html

The pandemic has made access to early learning and child care a universal issue that is resonating across sectors, regions, and income brackets. School and child care centre closures have been difficult for parents. Some have had to leave their jobs, or reduce their hours significantly. Without access to child care, parents cannot fully participate in our economy.

Department of Finance Canada2021-05-12T13:49:18-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/04/budget-2021-a-healthy-environment-for-a-healthy-economy.html

Climate change is the challenge of our times. And it is also one of our greatest opportunities. Climate action creates new opportunities for engineers, scientists, farmers, construction workers, tradespeople, resource workers, energy workers, researchers, and more.

Department of Finance Canada2021-04-19T16:08:44-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/04/young-canadians.html

Young people were among the hardest and fastest hit when the pandemic struck, experiencing more job losses than any other age demographic. They have also experienced the worst decline in mental health of any age group. Young Canadians must be at the centre of Canada’s recovery not only to help them rebound today, but to invest in their future success and the future success of our economy

Department of Finance Canada2021-04-20T13:09:31-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/04/budget-2021-building-an-innovation-economy-of-the-future.html

A plan for a long-term recovery must look to challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the years and decades to come. It must be led by a growth strategy that builds on the unique competitive advantages of the Canadian economy, and make sure that Canada is well-positioned to meet the demands of the next century.

Department of Finance Canada2021-04-19T16:37:51-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/04/backgrounder-budget-2021-job-creation.html

Budget 2021 is about finishing the fight against COVID. It’s about healing the economic wounds left by the COVID recession.

Department of Finance Canada2021-05-12T15:32:05-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/04/budget-2021-a-recovery-plan-for-jobs-growth-and-resilience.html

Today, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, the Honourable Chrystia Freeland, released Budget 2021: A Recovery Plan for Jobs, Growth, and Resilience, the Government of Canada’s plan to finish the fight against COVID-19 and ensure a robust economic recovery that brings all Canadians along.

Department of Finance Canada2021-04-19T16:07:19-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/04/budget-2021-address-by-the-deputy-prime-minister-and-minister-of-finance.html

It’s about meeting the urgent needs of today, and about building for the long term. It’s a budget focused on middle class Canadians, and on pulling more Canadians up into the middle class. It’s a plan that embraces this moment of global transformation to a green, clean economy.

Department of Finance Canada2021-04-23T09:42:45-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/04/budget-2021-support-for-small-business.html

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government acted swiftly to provide support to protect Canadians and support people and businesses, adapting its response as the pandemic evolved. The government’s broad suite of support measures has helped families, protected jobs, and supported businesses across Canada. More than eight of every ten dollars spent to fight COVID-19 and support Canadians continues to come from the federal government.

In December 2018, OSCE Moscow Mechanism rapporteur’s independent report on the situation in Chechnya found ‘clear evidence of the successive purges against LGBTI persons’ in Chechnya as well as of numerous other grave Human Rights violations. The report documented that LGBTI persons in Chechnya had been subjected to systematic harassment, persecution, arbitrary arrests and detentions, torture, enforced disappearances and extra-judicial killings.

Under the Chemicals Management Plan, Health Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada have completed a final screening assessment of talc, a mineral used in many consumer products. Most uses of talc are not a concern to human health. However, based on the latest science and the final screening assessment completed in 2021, the Government of Canada concludes that talc may be harmful to lungs when inhaling certain loose talc powder products, and it may cause ovarian cancer when using certain self-care products containing talc in the female genital area.

Health Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada have completed a final screening assessment of talc under the Chemicals Management Plan. This final screening assessment is based on the latest scientific evidence, and supports the draft screening assessment released in 2018 by concluding that inhaling loose talc powders and using certain products containing talc in the female genital area may be harmful to human health. It also confirms that talc is not harmful to the environment.

Seniors face increased vulnerability as they age: they tend to have lower incomes, experience higher poverty rates, and often face health related expenses because of the onset of illness or disability. They are also more likely to face the possibility of outliving their life savings and are more at risk of widowhood. Research shows that the loss of a spouse or partner can lead to a significant decline in the standard of living of seniors, particularly among women.

“The mistreatment of Indigenous children is a tragic and shameful part of Canada’s history. Residential schools were part of a colonial policy that removed Indigenous children from their communities. Thousands of children were sent to these schools and never returned to their families. The families were often provided with little to no information on the circumstances of their loved one’s death nor the location of their burial. Children in residential schools were forbidden to speak their language and practice their own culture. The loss of children who attended residential schools is unthinkable and Canada remains resolved to supporting families, Survivors and communities and to memorializing those lost innocent souls.

In making its decisions, the IRB takes into account whether an individual has a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, political opinion, nationality or membership in a particular social group, or is at risk of torture or punishment.

Additional regulatory measures are necessary because too many young people are using vaping products—and they are doing so without understanding the short and longer-term risks to their health.

As youth vaping continues to rise, the Government of Canada is taking action to address it. While youth smoking is at its lowest level in decades, vaping is putting a new generation of Canadians at risk of nicotine addiction and the other harms caused by vaping. Vaping can lead to tobacco use, which threatens the hard-earned gains of Canadians in lowering the number of people and youth who smoke. Working with other orders of governments, the medical community and other stakeholders, the Government of Canada continues to do more to protect youth from the risks of vaping.

These invasive species have severe economic and environmental impacts on ecosystems and industries as they harm plants and animals, degrade beaches, impair fisheries, disrupt infrastructure, and create prevention and control expenses.

The Government of Canada is taking decisive steps under the Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative (PSSI) to combat these steep declines and give salmon a fighting chance at survival.

That’s why the Government of Canada has taken action, through the CCB Young Child Supplement, to help parents cope with the pressures of the pandemic, make life more affordable for families, and grow the middle class.

Through Budget 2021, the federal government is investing $300 million to repair, upgrade and build new small craft harbours across Canada.

Everyone has the right to live free from violence. Unacceptably, too many people in Canada continue to experience violence every day because of their gender, gender expression, gender identity or perceived gender. This issue has only been magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic in communities across the country. That’s why the Government of Canada is collaborating with partners to address and prevent gender-based violence in all its forms.

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a public health risk, a national security concern, a human rights violation and a significant barrier to gender equality in Canada.

Everyone deserves an equal and fair chance at success. Social purpose organizations play a fundamental role in helping communities across Canada tackle a range of pressing social issues. However, many need support to expand their capacity and acquire new skills. In the years to come, a strong social purpose sector will be critical in rebuilding the economy in addition to addressing other priorities in our communities, like unemployment, poverty reduction, reconciliation, gender equality and anti-racism.

With Canada’s demographic landscape shifting as its older adult population continues to grow, long-term studies focusing on the health of older adults are not only important for this growing older population, they also provide the knowledge needed to ensure the health of future generations. This is why longitudinal studies—when the same cohort of people is followed over time with continuous or repeated monitoring of health outcomes— are so important. They track the trajectory of the health of a population as it ages, providing insights into how Canadians can live healthier and longer lives.

COVID-19 continues to have a disproportionate impact on vulnerable Canadians, creating a great need for additional supports. Community-based service providers such as charities and non-profit organizations are on the front lines, serving critical social inclusion, well-being and safety needs during the pandemic. This is why the Government of Canada has worked with national intermediary partners—Community Foundations of Canada, Canadian Red Cross and United Way Centraide Canada—to disburse $350 million to community-based organizations since last May. This funding was used to power thousands of projects, train countless volunteers, and support their communities along the way.

Skilled tradespeople from across the country have been critical to essential sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic, and their expertise is in high demand. This demand is expected to remain high over the next 10 years, as over 700,000 skilled trades workers are expected to retire between 2019 and 2028, creating an ever-growing need to recruit and train thousands more. The Government is making targeted investments so that key groups facing barriers—such as women, newcomers, Indigenous people, persons with disabilities, and visible minorities including Black and other racialized communities—can better find work in the skilled trades through projects led by unions and their partner organizations.

The Government of Canada has taken action to ensure that there is a price on carbon pollution across Canada. To ensure that carbon pollution pricing remains affordable for Canadians, direct proceeds from the federal pollution pricing system are returned to the jurisdictions where they were collected and the majority of proceeds are returned directly to Canadians through Climate Action Incentive (CAI) payments. These payments mean some 8 out of 10 families receive more money back than they pay in direct costs under this system.

Department of Finance Canada2021-12-03T15:51:23-05:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/12/integrating-ontarios-carbon-pollution-pricing-system-for-large-industrial-emitters-with-the-federal-fuel-charge.html

Today, the Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, announced the release of draft regulatory proposals under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act, that integrate Ontario’s Emissions Performance Standards (EPS) facilities with the federal fuel charge, for 2022. This allows Ontario’s EPS facilities to register as an emitter, allowing them to obtain fuel without the federal fuel charge applying, given they will be subject to the provincial system. Output-based pricing systems like Ontario’s or the federal government’s ensure that as we move towards a net-zero emissions economy, we are protecting the competitiveness of Canadian businesses and supporting good jobs.

Department of Finance Canada2021-12-03T16:28:31-05:00https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2021/12/fuel-charge-rates-for-listed-provinces-and-territories-for-2023-to-2030.html

The Government of Canada’s approach to pricing pollution gives provinces and territories the flexibility to implement the type of system that makes sense for their circumstances, as long as those systems align with minimum national stringency standards, or ‘benchmark’ criteria. By putting a specific price on carbon pollution, the government is giving Canadian businesses certainty and a clear incentive to move towards a net-zero economy, positioning Canada as a leader in the green transition.

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected the lives of families in Canada. Children have been impacted by many changes to their routines, environments, and activities, including online schooling, food insecurity, increased poverty, missed routine vaccinations and healthcare appointments, less access to mental health supports, and lack of access to trusted adults and caregivers, such as teachers and grandparents. Parents and families have been impacted by shifts to remote work, job losses, caregiving for family members, lockdowns and restrictions on sports and social activities. To fully support the recovery of families, we need more information on the impact of the pandemic on them, and we need to identify programs that have proven effective in supporting the needs of children, youth, and parents.

Over the past year and a half, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted a number of issues facing Canadians in their workplaces. For too long, many Canadians have been forced to choose between going to work sick or paying their bills, while others, particularly health care workers, have experienced or feared intimidation while attempting to provide or access health services. That’s why the Government of Canada took action by introducing Bill C-3, An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Canada Labour Code, which will provide ten days of paid sick leave to all federally regulated private sector employees and enhance protections for health care workers and those accessing health services. The legislation also amends bereavement leave under Part III of the Canada Labour Code to provide up to eight weeks of leave for employees who lose a child or experience a stillbirth.

The Government of Canada has authority to legislate paid sick leave, via Part III of the Canada Labour Code, for the federally regulated private sector. This sector includes about 955,000 employees (or approximately 6% of all Canadian employees) working for 18,500 employers in industries such as banking, telecommunications, broadcasting and inter-provincial and international transportation (including air, rail, maritime and road transportation), for federal Crown corporations, as well as for certain activities on First Nations reserves.

The sustainable and responsible management of our ocean ecosystems is a priority for me as Minister, and our government is committed to protecting and regenerating wild salmon stocks. In December 2020, Minister Jordan announced the licences for open-net pen salmon farms in the Discovery Islands would only be renewed until the summer of 2022. This has resulted in a reduction of more than 3.5 million farmed salmon in the Discovery Islands since December 2020, and I will ensure the decision to phase out these 19 open-net pen farms is carried on to completion.

It also found that the dumping of these goods, originating in or exported from the Republic of Austria, has not caused injury and is not threatening to cause injury to the domestic industry. Anti-dumping duties will therefore be collected by the Canada Border Services Agency. The complainants in this case were Transformateurs Delta Star Inc. of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Northern Transformer Corporation of Maple, Ontario, and PTI Transformers Inc. of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The claim by Russian authorities that the Memorial Human Rights Centre’s principled and peaceful work ‘justifies extremism and terrorism’ cannot be accepted.

Global migration has been upended by the pandemic. Widespread travel restrictions, local public health measures, and constraints on our settlement partners have all had a significant impact on our clients’ ability to provide complete applications or travel. Measures taken to protect the health and safety of employees and Canadians have also affected IRCC’s ability to process paper applications and lengthened processing times for some. IRCC has taken action and come a long way since the onset of the pandemic—providing additional resources where they are needed most and streamlining our processes.

Immigration is the engine of the Canadian economy, helping to address labour shortages and keep our communities thriving. Newcomers have played an essential role in addressing some of our most severe labour shortages throughout the pandemic, including on the front lines. However, there remain challenges, including processing delays that have led to frustrations for those trying to come to Canada to work or reunite with their families. While Canada welcomed the highest number of permanent residents in a single year in 2021 by processing a record number of applications, border restrictions and other pandemic-related factors have led to delays for many applicants, and long waits for application updates. We know these need to be addressed.

Our immigration system has helped shape Canada into the country it is today – one that is prosperous, diverse, and welcoming to those in need. Newcomers enrich and better our communities, and they work every day to create jobs, care for our loved ones, and support local businesses. Throughout the pandemic, they have been on the front lines, working in key sectors like health care, transportation, and manufacturing. Without them, Canada would not have been able to overcome challenges in critical industries and sectors of the economy over the past 2 years. Now, more than ever, immigrants are a key part of our country’s continued success.

Let me begin by unequivocally condemning Russia’s further invasion of Ukraine. Russia’s actions are a violation of international law and of the rules-based international order. This is an attempt to replace that rules-based international order with a world in which might makes right, where the great powers have the authority to redraw the borders, dictate the foreign policies, and control the governments of sovereign democracies whose only fault is that they are smaller and that their militaries are not as powerful.

Around the world women and girls have disproportionately suffered the socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19. Before the pandemic, women were doing three times as much unpaid care and domestic work as men. Data from UN Women shows that women make up 70% of the health workforce worldwide and are therefore at the forefront of the COVID-19 response; in 11 countries where sex-disaggregated data is available women account for 71% of confirmed cases among health care workers. On many fronts, the limited gains made on gender equity over the last decades are at risk of being rolled back.

Canada’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is well underway. In February 2022, Canada added 337,000 jobs, bringing our unemployment rate to 5.5% - the lowest since the start of the pandemic. In fact, Canada’s economic recovery is outpacing the ability of many employers to find workers. To support Canada’s continued economic growth, the Government of Canada is focused on building a strong, resilient workforce in all sectors.

Access to high-quality, affordable, flexible and inclusive child care will grow the economy, allow more women to enter the workforce and help give every Canadian child the best start in life. While reducing child care fees is important, it is just one part of the equation. That is why the governments of Canada and Nova Scotia are working together to increase the number of licensed child care spaces available in the province.

In the walled garden this system created, Canadian films, music and television programs were given the opportunity to flourish.

Canada’s beautiful West Coast is home to unique marine ecosystems and iconic species, all contributing to the cultural identity of British Columbia. Seamounts, hydrothermal vents and glass sponge reefs highlight the incredible biodiversity that lies below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. But changes to the climate are making the waters warmer, more acidic, less oxygenated, causing some habitat and species loss, and impacting marine food webs. As stewards of our Pacific waters, it is important for us to understand how ocean conditions and aquatic life are being directly and indirectly affected by climate change and human activity, so we can continue to find sustainable solutions to protect and restore coastal areas and deep offshore waters, while ensuring sustainable fishing opportunities for present and future generations.

Employment and Social Development Canada2022-06-13T14:50:00-04:00https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/news/2022/06/backgrounder0.html

Over the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, the volume of passport applications was relatively low, due to a reduction in travel following the imposition of public health restrictions and travel advisories. With the easing of restrictions and the resumption of travel, Service Canada has experienced an increase in passport applications across the country. In the first two years of the pandemic, only 20% of normal passport volume was received (from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021- 363,000 passports, and from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022 - 1,273,000 passports issued). Since April 1, 2022, over 542,000 applications were received. As a result, Service Canada is experiencing increased passport processing times and is prioritizing those travelling imminently.

It is estimated that more than eight million metric tons of plastic end up in the oceans each year. These products never actually break down, except into smaller and smaller pieces that endanger marine life, pollute ecosystems and litter our beaches. Fishing nets and other fishing gear also contain several kinds of plastic, and abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear causes catastrophic impacts on wildlife and marine environments. This “ghost gear” continues to entangle wildlife for many decades, impacting species at risk and the prosperity of our fisheries.

Canada’s economic recovery is well underway. We have recovered 115% of the jobs lost during pandemic. In fact, our economic growth is beginning to outpace the ability of some employers to find workers. The country has faced shifting demographics, new technologies, and different practices, such as gig and part-time work. New sectors like green technology are growing rapidly. The ways we work, such as teleworking and digitalization, are creating more options for people. Now, more than ever, it’s critical that workers have the foundational and transferable skills they need to adapt, and thrive in the evolving workforce of today.

Oral health is a major contributor to overall health and well-being. Researchers have found links between oral health and many systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, various types of cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, arthritis, diabetes, and cognitive diseases. Evidence has also shown that socioeconomic factors, including income, education, employment, are determinants of oral health. The Government of Canada is taking steps to develop a Canada-wide dental care program to improve access for those that need it the most. We are also investing in research to better understand oral health conditions and develop more effective treatments.

Global inflationary pressures continue to rise and are increasing costs of living and squeezing out the middle class. Extreme volatility has plagued commodity markets, increasing the cost of everyday goods including necessities such as food. The IMF must consider how best to assess and respond to growing global risks, many of which—including rising costs of food and fuel—have been exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have highlighted the interconnectedness and fragility of our global food systems. Because of the war, we are experiencing the largest shock to the global food system since the 2008-09 food price crisis. Food price inflation is having a significant impact on food security around the world. We encourage the Bank to continue to help build resilient food systems through support to the intensification of climate-smart agriculture, improving energy use in food systems, sustainable agri-food value-chains, and overall better food system governance.

Hurricane Fiona has had a devastating effect on communities across Atlantic Canada and Eastern Quebec. Houses and buildings have been severely damaged and destroyed, as well as small craft harbours that are critical to fisheries and coastal communities. Extreme weather is a major cause of lost fishing gear, known as ghost gear (such as nets, line, rope, traps, pots, and floats), and Fiona has caused a lot of this fishing gear to be lost in the Atlantic Ocean. This lost fishing gear costs money for fish harvesters to replace, and is also a severe threat to the marine environment.

Pricing pollution is widely recognized as the most efficient way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and drive clean innovation. Carbon pricing works by putting a cost on the thing we don’t want—pollution—and adding value to the things we do want—clean air, reliable and affordable clean energy, and sustainable jobs—while providing flexibility for consumers and industries to find the lowest-cost solutions. Last year, at COP26, Prime Minister Trudeau issued a challenge to triple the global coverage of carbon pricing by 2030.

We, the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America, and the High Representative of the European Union, condemn in the strongest terms the brazen launch of another Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) conducted on 18 November 2022 by the DPRK. This missile launch is another blatant violation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR) by the DPRK. This reckless act, together with the evidence of ongoing nuclear activities, underscores the DPRK’s determination to advance and diversify its nuclear weapons and missile capabilities. It further destabilizes the region, despite calls from the international community for peace and stability.

The Gitga’at and Gitxaala Nations have occupied the lands and waters around their coastal communities of Hartley Bay and Kitkatla, on the North Pacific Coast of what is now called Canada, for millennia. Their use of the waterways to travel to and access fishing and marine harvesting areas is a key facet of their rich culture and history. That is why ensuring those activities can continue is essential to maintaining their cultural, social, and economic wellbeing. In that context, increased use of those waterways for commercial marine transportation, a mainstay of Canada’s economy, can present challenges.

The federal government applies a price on pollution in jurisdictions that do not have their own pollution pricing systems which meets the federal benchmark.

To effectively assist SMEs in this transition to more sustainable business models, Government of Canada support must be aligned with investment principles that value responsible environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. This is why the Honourable Pascale St‑Onge, Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for CED, today announced a new ESG action plan and an ambitious roadmap to foster the emergence of a greener economy in the regions of Quebec.

Tourism is an integral sector in the national economy. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada’s tourism sector was generating $102 billion in annual economic activity as well 1.8 million jobs, accounting for over two percent of GDP. However, the tourism sector was heavily impacted by the pandemic, particularly in Northern Ontario. That is why the Government of Canada has supported businesses through initiatives like the Tourism Relief Fund, to help the sector to be even better positioned to welcome back guests.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada. In fact, two in five Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime and one in four Canadians will die of the disease.

Almost everyone knows a person whose life has been impacted by a cancer diagnosis.

This initiative represents a research investment of nearly $38 million over the past six years.

Throughout our lifetime, most of us will experience a transition in care, whether as a patient, a family member, or a caregiver. These transitions occur when the responsibility of caring for a patient changes hands, often due to aging, a change in health status, or a change in location. It is at these moments when patients are most at risk of receiving incomplete, delayed, or poor quality of care, which can negatively affect their health and wellness. Some groups, such as patients with complex medical conditions, Indigenous Peoples, and new immigrants to Canada, are more vulnerable to poor outcomes during transitions and that is why inclusive, multi-disciplinary research is required to improve outcomes for everyone.

Since before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of Canada has taken action to fight poverty, support Canadians and strengthen the economy. The results speak for themselves: Canada’s overall poverty rate decreased substantially between 2015 and 2020, falling from 14.5% to 6.4%. This represents close to 2.7 million Canadians lifted out of poverty, including 782,000 children and 187,000 seniors. These are encouraging results. It is important to consider them in the context of the pandemic, during which unprecedented income support measures were put in place.

More and more Canadians are opting for zero-emission vehicles and one of the ways to encourage these purchases is knowing that you will be able to charge your car on the road, especially for long distances. Given the number of Canadians and Americans crossing the border every day, people need to be sure they can get from point A to point B with their zero-emission vehicle. This certainty will help drive the adoption of more zero-emission vehicles, which will create good middle-class jobs, grow our economies, and reduce pollution on our roads.

“Never before has the global landscape for 2SLGBTQI+ persons been so fluid and rapidly changing. Several countries have made meaningful progress in decriminalizing same-sex relations, prohibiting discrimination, penalizing hate crimes and recognizing transgender persons. However, legislative and policy setbacks have occurred in all regions of the world, and hatred and violence against 2SLGBTQI+ people occur far too often. Worldwide, 11 countries have jurisdictions in which the death penalty can be imposed for same-sex relations, and almost 70 countries criminalize people for their sexual orientation or gender identity.

New funding to support families of missing and murdered Indigenous people and Indigenous victims and survivors of crime

Increasing access to justice for families of missing and murdered Indigenous people, as well as Indigenous victims and survivors of crime is a priority for the Government of Canada.

Offering distinct supports for First Nations, Inuit and Métis helps to ensure culturally safe and centred service delivery.

For seven years, the Government of Canada has been working on strategies, investing and improving regulations to help Canada become the clean energy and technology supplier of choice in a net-zero world. This plan features partnership with provinces and territories, including via the Regional Energy and Resource Tables. It also includes the February 2023 release of the Interim Sustainable Jobs Plan, which spoke to the work to be done to seize the economic opportunities that will be enabled through a move to a low-carbon future.

The CRTC’s objective is to ensure that we have an accessible, world-class communications system that keeps pace with evolving technologies and meets the needs and interests of all Canadians.

Canada’s regulatory regime aims to maximize these opportunities and to help broadcasters meet these challenges.

Commercial radio harks back to the origins of Canadian broadcasting. You bring music and new music to the new audiences. You create local news, often where no one else does. You’ve been integrating into a world of streaming and music apps and podcasts. You’ve dealt with a pandemic that swallowed the daily commute and has barely spit it back out again. Now you’re taking a breath to award salespeople, trailblazers, a young broadcaster of the year, a new Hall of Famer—so you’ve invited the regulator to come address you. I’m from the government, as the saying goes, and I’m here to help.

Simply put, the choices we made today will help decide the future of our communities, our livelihoods, our environment, and our economy.

Living a life free from violence is a fundamental human right, unfortunately gender‑based violence (GBV) continues to be a significant barrier to achieving gender equality in Canada.

Human rights defenders (HRDs) are active in every part of the world and play an essential role in promoting and protecting human rights internationally. In many countries, HRDs are increasingly at risk of violence, often subject to threats and injustices, forced to flee their homes due to fear of attack and reprisal, and on occasion, unable to return to their home country. Individuals from vulnerable and marginalized groups are at particularly heightened risk due to their intersectional identities.

No system of government is perfect, but democratic governance is the surest route to lasting peace, sustainable prosperity, and the respect, protection and fulfillment of human rights for all.

We are also seeing too many countries with electoral processes that are disrupted or targeted by malicious attempts to misinform. These attempts interfere with people’s capacity to access transparent, factual and independent information, to freely participate in elections, and to exercise their right to vote.

As with those basic human rights, freedom of religion or belief plays a pivotal role in nurturing peaceful, prosperous, resilient and inclusive societies.

Critical minerals are key enablers of clean technologies, like batteries, and clean energy sources, such as wind turbines and solar panels, which are essential to achieving a net-zero-emissions future. Canada’s critical minerals sector has tremendous opportunities that remain underdeveloped. This is largely because critical minerals deposits are often located in remote areas with challenging terrain and limited access to enabling infrastructure, such as roads or grid connectivity. Canada is already a leading supplier of sustainably sourced minerals and materials and is committed to making strategic investments to reinforce our position and drive job creation and economic growth. That is why today, the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, announced that the Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund (CMIF) will begin accepting applications when it opens its first call for proposals in late fall 2023.

As Canada’s health care sector continues to face labour shortages, the demand for qualified workers to fill vacancies continues to grow.

To help with this, a call for proposals was announced in December 2022 resulting in an investment of up to $86 million in 15 projects for the Foreign Credentials Recognition (FCR) Program. The successful projects were eligible to receive a minimum of $500,000, up to a maximum of $10M in investments.

International students enrich our communities and are a critical part of Canada’s social, cultural and economic fabric. In recent years, the integrity of the international student system has been threatened. Some institutions have significantly increased their intakes to drive revenues, and more students have been arriving in Canada without the proper supports they need to succeed. Rapid increases in the number of international students arriving in Canada also puts pressure on housing, health care and other services. As we work to better protect international students from bad actors and support sustainable population growth in Canada, the government is moving forward with measures to stabilize the number of international students in Canada.

Canada values the significant social, cultural and economic benefits that international students bring to Canada.

That is why today in Ottawa, at the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Canadian Legislative Conference, the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, announced up to $800,000 in funding for the IAFF to deliver training and increase the capacity of structural firefighters across the country. Structural firefighters refers to those trained to combat fires within enclosed spaces, such as residential homes, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and public infrastructure. Funding will also support Canada’s wildfire preparedness and response efforts to wildland urban interface fires, those that occur in areas where urban or developed areas meet with wildland or natural environments. Fires in these areas are particularly worrisome in that they pose substantial threats to lives and livelihoods, and the spread of thick smoke and evacuations can cause immense stress and disruption for communities. Addressing wildfires in interface areas is especially critical due to the high concentration of people living in these regions. With approximately 10 percent of the Canadian population residing in interface areas spanning 32 million hectares, the scope of the interface presents a significant challenge in wildfire management.

The oceans are at the heart of our way of life – they are a source of culture, recreation, economic development and much more, from coast to coast to coast. Ghost gear, that is, abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing gear, can damage marine habitat and pose a threat to marine life, including to endangered species like the North Atlantic right whale. To keep our waters healthy and protect the long-term sustainability of Canada's multi-billion dollar fishing industry, it is imperative to work with harvesters and other partners to find solutions to prevent fishing gear loss.

Public transit gets Canadians to where they need to be, creates new Canadian manufacturing and construction jobs, reduces pollution and congestion, makes life more affordable, and keeps Canadians and communities connected as they grow.

Canadian citizenship is highly valued around the world. It provides the right to vote, to run for political office and to hold a Canadian passport. For many immigrants, citizenship is key to integration. It also provides a sense of belonging to a diverse and inclusive country built on the principles of democracy, equality and multiculturalism.

The Citizenship Act contains a first-generation limit to citizenship by descent, which means that a Canadian citizen parent can pass on citizenship to a child born outside Canada if the parent was either born in Canada or naturalized before the birth of the child.

Every child deserves the best start in life. But for young families, including Millennial and Gen Z parents in Kanata and across the country, the costs of child care can add up to a second rent or mortgage payment. This makes it harder to start and support a family, and as a result, parents—especially moms—often face impossible choices between their careers and child care fees.

We remember and honour the shared history, symbols and values that define us as Canadians. A critical part of being Canadian is understanding the histories and realities of Indigenous Peoples, who have been caretakers of this land since time immemorial, and recognizing their integral role in this country’s past, present and future.

Today, I join Canadians across the country and around the world in celebrating Canada Day.

It has been 3 years since the Taliban took over Afghanistan. During this time, 2 decades of gains in democracy, human rights and education have eroded in the country and for its people. The treatment of women and girls by the Taliban is nothing short of horrifying. The egregious violations of women’s and girls’ human rights have led to restrictions on their freedom of movement and dress as well as their access to education, health services and justice, along with their ability to work. Women and girls have become prisoners in their homes and communities and have little hope for a brighter future.

Palliative care services are an important part of the health care system, and can improve the quality of life and overall health of many people with a serious illness. Many Canadians find it difficult to discuss serious illness, death, dying and end-of-life care with their loved ones and health care providers. These conversations will be made easier by developing the communication skills of providers and empowering patients with information. This will allow patients to access a palliative approach to care earlier in their illness journey, providing them with the support and resources they need to manage their symptoms, alleviate their suffering, and improve their physical and mental health.

Marketing tactics that create a sense of urgency to encourage you to buy quickly are known as urgency cues. When you shop for deals, remember that while some urgency claims can provide valuable information to a consumer if they are true, some can be deceptive or fake.

Hydrogen is expected to play a key role in powering the economy going forward, and momentum is underway around the world to secure strong, reliable suppliers. Clean hydrogen has the potential as an efficient fuel source to revolutionize key sectors, including heavy industry, energy production and transportation. With the demand for clean hydrogen projected to increase — projections indicate at least a tenfold increase in demand over the next three decades — Canada is uniquely positioned to meet this need. Atlantic Canada in particular is already seeing significant movement to seize the economic opportunity this presents for the region and is expected to create thousands of jobs.

This temporary trade measure will help stabilize the Canadian steel market by addressing the risk that steel originally destined for the United States is redirected to Canada.

This measure helps manage that pressure without disrupting supply for Canadian users.

Iran’s nuclear proliferation activities remain a serious threat to regional and international security. Despite repeated calls from the international community to limit its nuclear program to exclusively peaceful purposes and to fully restore cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran continues to ignore its international obligations and commitments.

In 2003, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed the existence of previously undeclared nuclear facilities in Iran, in violation of its Safeguards Agreement under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Despite international calls, Iran refused to suspend proliferation-sensitive activities. In February 2006, the IAEA Board of Governors reported Iran’s nuclear program to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). In response, the UNSC imposed a series of sanctions between December 2006 and June 2010 to curb Iran’s expanding nuclear capacity.

We are building our economy with major projects and millions more homes. We are empowering Canadians with lower costs and new opportunities to help you get ahead. We cannot control what other nations do, but we can control what we choose to build – and we are building Canada Strong.

Financial fraud impacts everyone and is becoming harder to detect and more prevalent in Canadians’ daily lives. In 2024, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) reported that Canadians had $643 million stolen due to fraud, representing nearly a 300 per cent increase since 2020. The CAFC estimates that this figure only represents 5 to 10 per cent of total fraud losses in Canada, given that many victims are reluctant to report fraud.

Citizens of the world require secure and affordable access to energy, investors are seeking clarity and confidence to deploy capital, and governments are working to deliver both climate ambition and economic growth.

Far too many Canadians are struggling to find homes they can afford. Solving Canada’s housing crisis requires immediate action to bring down costs, cut red tape, and build homes more quickly. The Government of Canada is stepping up with a bold new approach to increase the supply of housing in Canada, and most recently launched Build Canada Homes, a new federal agency that will build and finance affordable housing at scale, while catalyzing a more productive homebuilding industry.

Changes in the global trading system are causing massive disruptions and uncertainty for Canadians. The world has changed, and Canada’s economic strategy must change. Budget 2025: Canada Strong is our plan to transform our economy from one that is reliant on a single trade partner to one that is stronger, more self-sufficient, and more resilient to global shocks. This budget is a plan to enable $1 trillion in investments over the next five years. That can increase our GDP by over 3.5 per cent equivalent to more than $3,500 for every Canadian – delivering far more for Canadians than what’s being taken from us. This is a plan for Canada to give ourselves more than any foreign government can take away – a plan to build Canada strong.

In the face of global uncertainty, Canada’s new government is focused on what we can control.

Further to the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s inquiry (NQ-2025-005), the Tribunal today found that the volumes of dumping of steel strapping, originating in or exported from the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam), were negligible, as this word is defined in the Special Import Measures Act. Therefore, the Tribunal terminated its inquiry regarding the dumping of the above-mentioned goods originating in or exported from South Korea and Vietnam. The Tribunal also found that the dumping of the above-mentioned goods originating in or exported from the Republic of Türkiye, and the dumping and subsidizing of those goods originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China, have caused injury to the domestic industry. Anti-dumping and countervailing duties will therefore be collected by the Canada Border Services Agency. The complainant in this case was JEM Strapping Systems Inc. of Brantford, Ontario.

Cancer touches nearly every family in Canada. It is the leading cause of death in the country, and it is estimated to cost the health care system, patients, and families nearly $37.7 billion every year—from hospital care and medications to lost wages, reduced productivity, and out-of-pocket expenses.

This information is what allows Canada to identify strategic new mining projects across the country and mine the resources that underpin national defence, advanced manufacturing and the energy transition.
