Manufacturing platforms

Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.

Liberal

  • Create a $2B Strategic Response Fund to protect jobs in the auto sector and help workers upskill within the industry

    "Create a $2 billion Strategic Response Fund to boost our auto sector’s competitiveness, protect manufacturing jobs, support workers to upskill their expertise in the industry, and build a fortified Canadian supply chain – from raw materials to finished vehicles." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14

  • Build an "All-in-Canada" auto manufacturing component part supply chain

    "Build an “All-in-Canada” network for auto manufacturing component parts. With this network, we will work with industry to build more car parts in Canada, limit those parts crossing the border during production, and attract investment into our own industry." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14

  • Prioritise Canadian-built vehicles in government procurement

    "Leverage government funding to prioritize and procure Canadian-built vehicles, catalyzing domestic investment to grow the Canadian auto industry." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14

Conservative

  • Remove GST from the sale of new Canadian-made cars, as long as Trump's auto tariffs remain in place

    "To counter this unjustified attack, Poilievre will temporarily remove the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on purchases of all new Canadian-manufactured vehicles. The GST will be removed as long as Trump’s tariffs remain in place." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

We don't have any Bloc policies on Manufacturing.

NDP

  • Develop sector specific industrial strategies for energy, mining, manufacturing, buildings, and transportation, with workers at the table, to speed up Canada's clean energy transition and attract new investment

    "New Democrats are committed to our Build Canadian, Buy Canadian Plan to boost our domestic economy and create a stronger and more independent economy. As part of this plan we would develop sector-specific industrial strategies for energy, mining, manufacturing, buildings and transportation, with workers at the table every step along the way, with the goal of accelerating Canada’s clean energy transition and attracting new investment in communities across the country. And we would provide additional supports to train more workers for tomorrow’s green economy. Our goal will be to support good, new jobs in clean industries, and support the decarbonization of essential industries like steelmaking, cement-making, transportation and others." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19
