Canadian manufacturers are calling for greater involvement in national infrastructure projects, with leaders from small- and medium-sized businesses emphasizing their potential to play a key role. At a recent national event, the head of an advocacy group highlighted the importance of local manufacturers in driving major construction initiatives across the country. The group argues that regional producers are well-positioned to contribute to large-scale projects, offering both expertise and economic benefits. This push comes as the government explores ways to boost domestic production and reduce reliance on foreign imports. Industry representatives are now seeking clearer policy support to help small businesses secure contracts for upcoming infrastructure developments.
