It was a pleasure to join Dennis Darby and the team from @cme_mec for their annual Queen’s Park Ontario Made Manufacturing Day and underscore the strength and resilience of our province’s manufacturing sector. Through programs like the Ontario Made Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit, our government is standing up for the 800K+ men and women in this leading industry, and ensuring local manufacturers are able to adapt to the demands of our time.

It was a pleasure to attend the province’s announcement today of new legislation that will prioritize #OntarioMade goods and services first. This is a measure that CME has been strongly advocating for as a powerful lever for building domestic supply chains.

CME welcomes @ONgov’s 2025 Fall Economic Statement and its commitment to a strong, resilient manufacturing sector. We’re encouraged by the proposed update to the #OntarioMade Investment Tax Credit. Learn more: cme-mec.ca/blog/2025-fall…. #OnFES2025
