United by a common vision of a world-class manufacturing sector
Speaking out with one voice about the future
The Canadian Manufacturing Coalition, led by CME President & CEO Jayson Myers, brings together 42 industry associations united by a common vision of a world-class manufacturing sector that will continue to ensure that Canadians enjoy strong economic growth and high-value, high-paying jobs. The coalition speaks with one voice about the importance of manufacturing and about what must be done to ensure a competitive business environment for manufacturing in Canada.
Accounting for 2.2 million high-paying, full-time jobs for Canadians, and more than 20% of Canada's GDP, the Canadian Manufacturing Coalition's membership includes virtually all of the manufacturers and exporters in every aspect of the value-adding business sector in Canada. We speak together about the urgency of responding to the challenges that manufacturers face now and in the future.
