Report Identifies Key Barriers Hindering Canada's Economic Growth Across Multiple Sectors
A recent report by PwC Canada and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce highlights significant barriers within key Canadian industries that are preventing the country from reaching its full economic potential. The report, released on Tuesday, identifies five critical sectors where structural challenges are impeding growth: artificial intelligence, mining and critical minerals, energy, defence, and agriculture. Despite Canada's advantages including natural resources, research institutions, an educated workforce, political stability, and access to global markets, the nation has fallen short of achieving sustained economic leadership and globally scaled industries. The report emphasizes that while Canada excels at resource discovery and intellectual property creation, the country struggles to retain economic value through domestic processing, commercialization, and scaling. Anita McOuat, a national managing partner at PwC Canada, noted that these barriers are fixable and within Canada's control. For the AI sector, financing gaps for growth-stage companies were identified as a major challenge. In mining, the lengthy timelines for new projects—sometimes taking 10 to 15 years—create obstacles to private investment due to high costs and time constraints. The energy sector faces challenges with 85% of exports going to the United States, requiring new infrastructure for broader market access. Defence procurement systems need reform to ensure increased spending benefits domestic firms rather than accelerating foreign purchases. Agriculture presents opportunities in processing and ingredients technology, but common barriers across sectors include slow regulatory permitting, limited capital for growth, costly infrastructure bottlenecks, and fragmented policy support. The report suggests that removing these structural barriers could enable businesses to better deploy capital and foster the development of 'global champions.' It also calls for a new model of public-private collaboration with a more business-oriented public sector. The authors argue that without addressing these issues, governments may need to play a more active role in fostering globally competitive Canadian firms. The report comes amid heightened trade tensions between Canada and the United States, prompting efforts to diversify the Canadian economy while maintaining strong ties with the U.S. McOuat emphasized that the goal is not to decrease U.S. trade but to expand Canada's ability to operate domestically and globally. The report identifies the next decade as a critical opportunity for change, as global demand for energy, critical minerals, food, defence, and technology aligns with Canada's strategic advantages. It concludes that Canada has the potential to produce more globally competitive companies but requires systemic changes to overcome current structural barriers.
