anada is already a global leader in advanced manufacturing & aerospace, and the sector’s potential for growth is virtually unlimited thanks to heavy investment in research and development, worldleading tax rates, a growing roster of trade agreements, and impressive infrastructure. Manufacturing is critical to the economy, directly and indirectly accounting for 30 per cent of Canada’s economic output and directly employing about 1.7 million people in 2016. Manufacturing accounts for 3 million more jobs through indirect and induced effects. That means 27 per cent of all Canadian employment depends on manufacturing, making it the thirdlargest source of jobs. The roughly 91,000 companies in the manufacturing sector pay $114 billion yearly in salaries to Canadian workers, more than any other sector in the Canadian economy. The Canadian aerospace industry contributed close to $28 billion in GDP and 208,000 jobs to the Canadian economy. Unlike the factories of old, today’s manufacturing facilities are built on innovation, employing a skilled and knowledge-based workforce of engineers, technicians, tradespeople, designers, researchers and programmers. Canadian aerospace manufacturing demonstrated innovation leadership by increasing its employment of skilled workers significantly more than the manufacturing average to introduce

innovation. The aerospace industry generated $27 billion in revenues and employed over 87,000 Canadians in 2016. Manufacturing is critical right across the country. One in five workers in more than 360 communities across Canada are employed in manufacturing, with the concentration often heaviest in small towns and cities. But even the big city of Toronto, manufacturing is the second largest industry (after finance), and accounts for about 13 per cent of total economic output. The sector is directly responsible for $650 billion in output and exports $348 billion worth of goods a year, about 61 per cent of all merchandise exports. Canada has particular strength in automotive, aerospace, food processing, petroleum and coal products, medical device, and machinery and equipment manufacturing clusters. Economic clusters allow for economies of scale, talent attraction and research intensity and become magnets for investment. There is enormous potential in manufacturing. Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters has set a target to double value-added manufacturing output by 2030 to overcome a growing trade deficit, boost economic growth and create jobs. Canada’s federal government has supported and leveraged the manufacturing sector by: lowering taxes, seeking out trade agreements, enhancing skills training and promoting research and innovation.

Perspective

Lower taxes Canada reduced its corporate income tax rate from 22 per cent to 15 per cent and removed the federal capital tax, while expanding the accelerated capital cost allowance for manufacturers investing in new equipment. The government also eliminated more than 1,800 tariffs, bringing more than $450 million in annual tariff relief to Canadian manufacturers. As well, Canada is the first country in the G20 to offer a tariff-free zone that will allow foreign investors to import advanced machinery and equipment into Canada from their parent companies free of import duties. Taken altogether, KPMG reported in 2014 that total business tax costs in Canada were the lowest in the G7 — 46 per cent lower than those in the United States. That only amplifies the business cost advantage in labour, facility leases and utilities Canada offers to manufacturers. The government also recognizes the critical role small- and medium-sized manufacturers play in the sector, which account for more than 60 per cent of jobs. Beginning in 2015, the government reduced the small business tax rate from 11 per cent to 9 per cent over four years, mandated the six regional economic development agencies to support small and medium-sized manufacturers, and directly funded programs aimed at helping SMEs create new export markets. Taken altogether, tax reductions mean a manufacturer earning $500,000 will pay 46 per cent less federal corporate income tax in 2019 than it did in 2006.

Pratt & Whitney Canada, world leader in aerospace manufacturing, is located in Longueuil, Canada.

Trade deals

Skills training

Access to new markets and global supply chains is critical to the continuing success and growth of Canada’s manufacturing sector. In 2006, Canada had free trade agreements with only five countries but has deals with 44 nations today. Those include the historic Canada–European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Canada– Korea Free Trade Agreement, Canada’s first in Asia. Those two agreements alone will give Canadian manufacturers access to more than 558 million people in nations with a total GDP of almost $20 trillion. It’s estimated that CETA alone could bring 80,000 new jobs to Canada and inject $12 billion into the Canadian economy. Canada is also a signatory to the Trans-Pacific Partnership and is in negotiations or exploratory free trade talks with a wide range of nations, including China, India, Japan, and the Caribbean. Canada has also invested $631 million in a crucial piece of trade infrastructure – the Gordie Howe International Bridge between Windsor and Detroit. That trade corridor is the busiest commercial land border crossing, handling 31 per cent of Canada–U.S. trade carried by truck.

Canada has a strong education sector and a long history of manufacturing expertise. The talent pool is deep and reliable. Canadian manufacturing workers are known for low turnover, staying with an employer an average of 10 years. A looming skills shortage is being tackled by governments and industry through job retraining grants, a wide range of apprenticeship programs, and partnerships with post-secondary institutions to match curricula with the needs of employers.

Research Canada’s manufacturing sector is a leader in investing in research, commercializing new products and capitalizing on innovation in materials, production processes, additive manufacturing, automation, nanotechnology and biotechnology. Manufacturers accounted for 46 per cent of all business R&D spending in 2014, spending $7.1 billion. The federal government has leveraged that investment with $13 billion in research spending over the last decade. The Canadian Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program is the largest single source of federal government support for industrial R&D. It provides $3 billion in tax incentives to more than 20,000 claimants annually.

“The quality of the people who call Saskatchewan home, the overall net operating costs, and a government that looks for ways to enhance manufacturing opportunities within the province provide a compelling backdrop to current and future growth in manufacturing.”

– Steven Hoffrogge, CEO Crestline Coach Ltd.

Saskatchewan: A thriving manufacturing sector supported by a diverse economy. Saskatchewan has one of the fastest growing populations in Canada. The province has the food, fuel and fertilizer that the world needs, and its abundant natural resources place it at an advantage in various economic climates, helping it ride out global economic cycles. Manufacturing is an important part of Saskatchewan’s economy. The sector accounts for seven per cent of the province’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and is currently experiencing one of the highest growth rates in the country. In the 10-year period from 2006 to 2016, Saskatchewan’s manufacturing shipments increased by 45 per cent. Thriving Resources Some of the industries that have experienced manufacturing increases recently are food, chemicals, wood products and machinery. In addition, precision agriculture, new mineral development and renewable energy are also driving opportunities for Saskatchewan manufacturers.

December 2015 and December 2016, manufacturing sales increased by 11.2 per cent to a value of $1.2 billion. Thriving Innovation Saskatchewan is a leader in innovation, applied research, development and technology commercialization. The province is home to a research cluster that includes the Canadian Light Source synchrotron, universities, research institutions and its Innovation Place research parks with locations across the province. Increases in Saskatchewan’s resource sectors have created huge supply chain opportunities for manufacturers and service providers in the province. Saskatchewan also produces advanced engineering and manufacturing technologies for the aerospace, defence and precision agricultural markets and is forging ahead in clean-coal power generation, unmanned aerial vehicles and nuclear science. Competitive Business Environment

Our diversified manufacturing industry produces everything from aerospace equipment, buses, tractors and machinery, to food products, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals and much more. Manitoba is home to scores of companies that produce billions of dollars in products shipped across North America and around the globe. In the last 20 years, Manitoba’s manufacturing output has increased nearly 80 per cent – twice the growth experienced in manufacturing centres in eastern Canada. Manitoba is the headquarters for North America’s largest manufacturers of buses (New Flyer Industries and its subsidiary, Motor Coach Industries), Canada’s largest manufacturer of harvesting equipment (MacDon Industries) and Canada’s only manufacturer of tractors (Buhler Versatile). Our state-of-the-art aerospace industry is the largest in Western Canada, led by global companies: Boeing Technology Canada, StandardAero, and Magellan Aerospace. Manitoba is Canada’s third largest exporter of pharmaceuticals, with operations for Pfizer Canada,Valeant Pharmaceuticals, Medicure, Apotex Fermentation, and the headquarters of Vita Health Products. Food processing is well established here, with operations of global leaders like Maple Leaf Foods, McCain Foods, Simplot Canada and Roquette. Manufacturers and processors work closely with universities, colleges and research institutes

to develop new technologies. For example, Winnipeg’s Composites Innovation Centre works with companies in the areas of aerospace, ground transportation, civil infrastructure and biomaterials. It also manages global consortia exploring new technologies and materials. People are often surprised to hear that approximately 85 per cent of the world’s new large commercial aircraft developmental engines are tested in Manitoba before they are certified for flight. General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce – the world’s largest aircraft engine manufacturers – have invested over $100 million in testing facilities in Manitoba. The most recent exciting development is the current planning by the National Research Council of Canada to establish a facility in Winnipeg to be the headquarters for its Advanced Manufacturing Program, a national initiative to support the development of advanced manufacturing technologies for Canadian industry. The program is national in scope and will focus initially on the aerospace and automotive industries. In addition to the Winnipeg flagship facility, the program will operate in Montreal, Ottawa and London. The future is bright for manufacturing in Manitoba.

Offering Aircraft Manufacturers the Lowest Business Cost Structure

erospace manufacturing is flying high in Canada thanks to competitive corporate taxes, deep and transformative investments in research and innovation, a talented yet cost-effective labour force, a worldwide reputation as an industry leader, and proven and expanding global markets. Canada is ranked third globally in civil aircraft production, with 700 aerospace companies generating almost $30 billion in direct revenues in 2015, employing 73,000 direct workers and supporting a total of 211,000 jobs. A 2014 report by KPMG found Canada offers aircraft parts manufacturers the lowest business cost structure (including labour, industrial facilities, and utilities) and the second-lowest business tax burden among G7 countries. Canada’s cost advantage is only enhanced by a strong U.S. dollar. Close to 20 per cent of GDP activity in the aerospace industry goes to R&D, representing about $1.9 billion in 2015, a 60 per cent increase since 2004. That makes aerospace five times more R&D intensive than the overall manufacturing average in Canada. Canadian companies have specialized strength and expertise in building aircraft engines, commercial and business aircraft, helicopters, avionics, aerostructures, landing

gear systems, and advanced composites. As well, the country’s sector is a leader in flight simulation and pilot training, maintenance, repair and overhaul, and product development and cold climate testing. Global leaders in the sector have found a home in Canada. An estimated 80 per cent of production is exported and aerospace trade diversity (share of exports to non-U.S. markets) is twice that of the overall manufacturing average. Exports grew by an astounding 54 per cent between 2010 and 2015, with the Asia-Pacific market leading the boom. Canada has duty-free access to the United States and Mexico and will soon have preferential access to European Union markets under the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, which will open billions in trade potential. Canada has a range of programs designed to increase investment in aerospace manufacturing. It is the first G20 nation to offer a tariff -free zone for manufacturing inputs that allows investors to import machinery and equipment without import duties. In addition, the federal government provides a range of programs offering financing and market access support to aerospace companies in Canada. They include:

• the Consortium for Aerospace Research and Innovation in Canada is an industry-led research network that provides financing for smaller, early-stage projects; • the Technology Demonstration Program supports large-scale, next generation projects in the aerospace, defence, space and security sectors that have significant potential for longterm economic benefits to Canada; • the Strategic Aerospace and Defence Initiative is a $1-billion program to encourage companies to develop new products to boost competitiveness; • Canada’s Economic Action Plan 2015 created a national supplier development program to improve the performance and competitiveness of aerospace firms; • the Canadian Scientific Research and Experimental Development tax incentive program provides claimants cash refunds and/or tax credits for their expenditures on eligible R&D work done in Canada. Impressive multi-modal transportation infrastructure and proximity to supply chain partners and export markets in the U.S., round out the long list of benefits to building aircraft and parts in Canada.

Global Leaders in Automotive Manufacturing Find a Home

anada’s location at the heart of one of the largest automotive markets in the world, combined with low business taxes, strong government sector support, and a skilled labour pool make it one of the leading automotiveproducing countries in the world. In fact, the Government of Canada is committed to making the nation the destination of choice for automotive manufacturers. Already, the sector is linked to more than 500,000 jobs in Canada, 117,000 of them in direct employment. That makes the automotive sector Canada’s largest industry, directly or indirectly employing one in seven Canadians. It has also been Canada’s largest single source of export earnings and generated revenues of $84.7 billion in 2013. There are 19 passenger and commercial vehicle assembly plants in Canada, employing more than 38,000 workers with 2.4 million units of installed capacity. Typically about 85 per cent of the vehicles manufactured in Canada are exported. Canada’s eight passenger vehicle assembly plants, which produce about two dozen models, have world-leading facilities and labour talent. The plants have won one-third of all J.D. Power plant quality awards in North America,

double Canada’s share of production. Canada is also home to 450 automotive supply companies with 1,250 facilities, $27.9 billion in annual shipments and nearly $13 billion in exports in 2013.   Canada has free trade agreements with the some of the world’s biggest economies and continues to negotiate new deals that will open billions of dollars in trade potential and access to global supply chains. Canada also boasts integrated multi-modal transportation infrastructure and inclusion in the Great Lakes auto superregion of 37 assembly plants within a 500-kilometre radius of the Windsor-Detroit border. But Canada provides a cost advantage over the U.S., including an 11.2 per cent labour cost benefit, according to a KPMG report. In fact, the report found Canada offers both the lowest cost structure (including labour, industrial facilities, and utilities), and the second-lowest tax burden among G7 countries for auto parts manufacturers. Overall, Canada has a 3.0 per cent cost advantage over the U.S. and a 3.5 per cent advantage over Japan. The appreciating U.S. dollar has only made Canada more cost beneficial. Research continues to transform the vehicles we use every day. Canada is a leader in innovation, with cutting-edge

High Demand in the Machinery and Equipment Industry

achinery and equipment production underpins a range of critical manufacturing verticals in Canada, including automotive and aerospace production, field machinery used in raw materials extraction, construction and agricultural machinery, and environmental systems. There are more than 9,000 companies in the machinery and equipment sector that employ a direct production labour force of more than 170,000 and recorded sales of nearly $45 billion in 2012. Domestic Canadian demand itself provides significant opportunities for growth for investors in the sector. Canada’s economy is centred in machineryintensive industries, including agriculture, minerals, oil and gas, utilities, construction, and manufacturing, which all together account for about 30 per cent of the nation’s GDP. Companies in those sectors spent more than $42.5 billion on machinery and equipment in 2012 alone, according to Industry Canada. Yet exports accounted for more than 60 per cent of sales in 2012, making Canada’s global trade relationships with some of the world’s biggest markets a critical advantage. Canada offers one of the lowest cost structures among advanced economies. Combining all cost factors, Canada has the lowest business cost environment among all G7 countries, with total business costs 18.5 per cent below the U.S.

Canada is also a leader among the world’s advanced economies when it comes to business taxes and tax credits offered for research and development.   Canada has specialized research capacity in advanced materials, machinery design, hybrid technologies, intelligent systems design and plant design. It is also established as a global leader in product development of engines, transmissions, electronic systems, bearings, cables, pumps,  sensors, valves, fasteners, stampings, castings, forgings and extrusions. Machinery and equipment manufacturing is truly a national strength. Leading companies in the sector are spread across the country, with British Columbia, Alberta, Newfoundland & Labrador strong in machinery manufacturing in the oil and gas and mining sectors. Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Brunswick lead the way for agricultural machinery, while construction machinery is built in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick. Companies building metalworking machinery are centred in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island. Canada’s multi-modal transportation infrastructure and its strong, stable and growing list of global trading partners make it an ideal location from which to take advantage of international supply chains and new export markets.

As well, Canada is the first country in the G20 to offer a tariff-free zone that will allow foreign investors to import advanced machinery and equipment into Canada from their parent companies free of import duties.

Advanced Manufacturing Resources There are a range of networks, research centres and funding support programs geared to the machinery and equipment industry. They include: • Scientific Research and Experimental Development • The Advanced Manufacturing Fund • The Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance • The Industrial Research Assistance Program • Export Development Canada • Business Development Bank of Canada • Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada’s Canadian Network for Research and Innovation in Machining Technology • National Research Council Canada • The Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute • The Canmet Materials Technology Laboratory • The Integrated Manufacturing Centre

Prince Edward Island Sets a Course to Grow Advanced Marine Technology

ith the success of the advanced marine technology industry on Prince Edward Island a cluster development is taking place. PEI is modeling its advanced marine technology sector to parallel the success of the aerospace sector over the past 25 years. In 2014 the advanced marine technology sector accounted for more than 8% of exports from PEI. Advanced marine technology clients calling PEI home include Aspin Kemp and Associates, MarineNav, Nautican, Portsmouth Atlantic, and Breakwater Management. Infrastructure on PEI includes training programs at both Holland College and UPEI along with four ports at strategic locations within the province.

With the start up of the National Shipbuilding Program in Canada, PEI sees the opportunity for this sector to grow quickly. The Province of Prince Edward Island has supported this

sector with the introduction of the Advanced Marine Technology tax rebate program which rebates provincial corporate income taxes to eligible companies within the sector.

Advanced Marine Technology Tax Rebate The Advanced Marine Technology (AMT) tax rebate is a new support that has been modeled from the success of the aerospace industry on Prince Edward Island. In less than 5 years, PEI has gone from limited advanced marine technology activity with sales under $5 million to a growing sector with staffing numbers close to 200 and sales over $100 million. With four ports on PEI and marine based training programs at Holland College, PEI is setting its course to grow the AMT sector through a full yearly rebate on all corporate income tax paid to the province of Prince Edward Island.

Who is eligible for the Advanced Marine Technology tax rebate? • New and existing advanced marine technology company in Prince Edward Island • AMT companies that have a minimum of 15 PEI staff and a minimum payroll of $700,000 per annum • Working within the AMT sector and exporting from PEI
