Natural resource development is an opportunity Canadians cannot afford to miss.
For example, did you know that natural resources account for:
- 45% of Canada's manufacturing output
- Employ 1.7 million people directly and indirectly
- Make up nearly one-fifth, or 19.2% of our economy (nominal GDP)
- Account for well over half, or 58% of our merchandise exports
- Generate tens of billions of dollars in revenues for our governments
In other words, without natural resources, Canadians would be much worse off, with:
- Less job opportunities
- Less public services
- More debt
- A significantly weakened economy
Canada's natural resource abundance can help turn our economy around.
If you care about a strong and prosperous future for Canadian families, you should support our natural resources sector.
