#OntarioMade Manufacturing Day at Queen’s Park was in full swing yesterday with even more impactful meetings. CME members had the incredible opportunity to sit down with MPPs from across Ontario to discuss the key challenges and opportunities for the manufacturing sector. From workforce development to driving innovation, the conversations were insightful and productive.

Yesterday at Queen’s Park, Ontario manufacturers from across diverse sub-sectors united to make their voices heard. Through impactful meetings with Ministers and MPPs, we showcased the vital role #OntarioMade manufacturing plays in driving innovation, creating jobs, and strengthening communities. The message was clear: manufacturing matters—and together, we're building a stronger Ontario.

On December 11, join us for an exclusive members-only call on US Trade and Tariffs: https://lnkd.in/gWDtpBby Since last week’s statement from President-elect Trump that he intends to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all products imported from Canada and Mexico into the United States, CME has been working closely with members, federal and provincial governments, our counterparts at the U.S. National Association of Manufacturers and other partners to understand and communicate the significant damage that such a measure would inflict on Canadian and American manufacturers and their workers. We’ll provide an update on CME’s advocacy, share the latest insights on how the federal government is managing the tariff threat and hear directly from you on the impact a tariff will have on your business. CME AND CMC members are eligible to join the call. Register today - don't miss out!
