Manufacturing is an important part of Canada’s economy. A strong manufacturing industry needs skilled workers to grow, innovate and be globally competitive.
Canada’s Economic Action Plan (EAP) 2013 proposes $200 million over five years toward a new Advanced Manufacturing Fund in Ontario through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario.

Developing a strong skilled workforce in Canada is a priority. This is why EAP 2013 introduced initiatives focused on skills training and education such as Promoting Education in High-Demand Fields, Supporting the Use of Apprentices, and Building Digital Skills. These initiatives will help to ensure a strong manufacturing industry across Canada.
