Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters - CME is creating Industrie 2030

Frank Nov. 6, 2016 in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Today, Nov. 6, 2016, I am very happy for coincidentally found Industrie 2030 that is doing right business in Canada, at the time that government is busying in making budget deficit under the economic strategy of promoting economy by spraying large amount of money, and also introducing large amount of immigrants without concern of the quality - whether they can be easily trained as qualified industrial labour force.

For a while, across Canada has been actively attracting immigrants for the sake of an ageing population. However, the vast majority area of Canada lacking an industrial base to provide employment, so that new immigrants have to migrate to Southern Ontario - manufacturing heartland of Canada, especially Waterloo region to seek opportunities for livelihood making.

According to my oral survey when working in different manufacturers of Southern Ontario in past 16 years, there have been more and more people gathering here across Canada, from agricultural area, from fishery province, from oil fields. . . . . .

However, in Southern Ontario, the job position has been in declining since that businesses have to be closed and out-relocated, the reason was simply due to poor management under irrational social ideological and wrongful social governance.

May 18, 2016, in article How to save Canada’s manufacturers from disappearing, I introduced some real cases that businesses had to be closed only due to poor management, especially, due to the reckless of some individual employees that cultured by unions' culture under the nourishment of excessive advocated values, which protected by democratic law.

Nov. 1, 2016, in article Margaret Thatcher Changed The UK Forever By Defeating Unions, I indicate that:

"There were reports that Britain will soon be developed as fourth large economy in world, for such a achievement, the first contributor should be Margaret Thatcher, it was she defeated Unions under a rational sense that Unions were attempting to substitute the rule of the mob for the rule of law, so that revived productivity in Britain. Now, in Britain, the goods making is much cheaper than in Canada."

"Compared with the rational practice of Ms. Margaret Thatcher, there vast majority of democratic players are eagerly campaigning for enjoying psychological satisfaction that brings by political privilege, without a essential sense for that how to properly accomplish their their duties."

I appreciate the vision of Industrie 2030.

"Manufacturing is the bedrock of the Canadian economy."

"The impact of manufacturing extends deeply throughout the country. It generates demand for raw materials, semi-finished goods and professional services. It supplies a host of sectors with critical products and materials. Research and innovation in manufacturing contribute to the betterment of Canadians’ lives. Today, the sector directly represents:"

"1.7 million employees — 10 per cent of the Canadian total;"

"$114 billion paid in total compensation to workers — more than any other sector;"

"$174 billion in GDP — 10.5 per cent of Canada’s total;"

"$348 billion in exports — 67 per cent of Canada’s total; and,"

"42 per cent of all private sector research and development activity."

"However, manufacturing in Canada today is stagnant and it risks becoming an afterthought to the public, society generally and political leaders. This is more of a risk as manufacturing continues to evolve in Canada and around the world."

"Industrie 2030 aims to create that strategy and leverage the opportunities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and create a roadmap for change which will lead to the doubling of value-added manufacturing and exports by 2030."

"While this goal is aggressive, the results for Canada would be dramatic and positive:"

"Manufacturing sales would rise from $610 billion in 2015 to $1.2 trillion;"

"Exports of manufactured goods would increase from $348 billion in 2015 to $696 billion;"

"Create nearly $448 billion in additional GDP in the Canadian economy; and,"

"Create an estimated 4.1 million additional jobs."

"Together, we can manufacture change."

In viewing that in current Canada, there was no gov-led strategy as similar as Industrie 2030, so it is worth to be rename it as Canada Industrie 2030.

I deeply feel that only those who come from industry can feel the Achilles heel of the Canadian economy and know where to revive it.

Those democratic-players are hardly ruining Canada, while industrial-men are hardly saving Canada.

I specially search and reproduce some information regarding Industrie 2030 as follow.

Background

Industrie 2030 is an initiative of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) with the objective to create a roadmap to double value-added manufacturing, processing, technology and services in Canada by 2030.

While governments are instrumental in creating and supporting national strategies, we believe this strategy must be created and driven by Canadian manufacturers and exporters themselves. The reason is simple: governments help create the conditions in which business operate, but businesses are responsible for developing the strategies that create the products, service the customers and grow their operations.

In order to achieve our strategic objective to double value-added manufacturing and exporting activities, we must first identify the business outcomes needed to reach those targets. Manufacturers cannot simply just double production. Rather, they must invest in their facilities, processes and products and they must find new customers in Canada and around the world. These are necessary conditions for Industrie 2030’s growth targets to be met. The required business outcomes for Canadian manufacturers include:

Retaining and attracting investment to expand manufacturing capacity;
Manufacturing more products and technologies in Canada;
Accelerating adoption of new technologies and processes; and,
Selling more to customers in Canada and around the world.

Industrie 2030 started with the public launch of the initiative with the Minister of Industry, Science and Economic Development in February 2016. National consultations to seek input, direction and recommendations from Canada’s manufacturing and exporting community and key support organizations began in April 2016 and will continue until September 2016. The first phase of Industrie 2030 will conclude with a National Manufacturing Summit in Ottawa, October 18th-19th with the release of the results of the consultation and the creation of the detailed implementation agenda.

Ensuring success in the process towards our ultimate objectives will be based on the direct input and support of Canadian industry and the large support network that helps sustain and grow this most important business sector. CME and our partner organizations look forward to working throughout this process and beyond with Canadian manufacturers and exporters to establish a clear vision and concrete roadmap for success.

Together, we can manufacture change.

Manufacturing is the bedrock of the Canadian economy

The impact of manufacturing extends deeply throughout the country. It generates demand for raw materials, semi-finished goods and professional services. It supplies a host of sectors with critical products and materials. Research and innovation in manufacturing contribute to the betterment of Canadians’ lives. Today, the sector directly represents:

1.7 million employees — 10 per cent of the Canadian total;
$114 billion paid in total compensation to workers — more than any other sector;
$174 billion in GDP — 10.5 per cent of Canada’s total;
$348 billion in exports — 67 per cent of Canada’s total; and,
42 per cent of all private sector research and development activity.

However, manufacturing in Canada today is stagnant and it risks becoming an afterthought to the public, society generally and political leaders. This is more of a risk as manufacturing continues to evolve in Canada and around the world.

The integration of technology — both hardware and software — into our manufacturing processes and products is rapidly changing the business of manufacturing. Technologies that have now become commonplace, such as computers, email and smart phones will soon be joined by autonomous vehicles, self-learning robots, digital factories and 3D printers in standard business operations. This integration of technology into our processes and products is often referred to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Many countries around the world have developed national strategies aimed at capitalizing on the benefits of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Canada, to date, has not. Industrie 2030 aims to create that strategy and leverage the opportunities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and create a roadmap for change which will lead to the doubling of value-added manufacturing and exports by 2030.

While this goal is aggressive, the results for Canada would be dramatic and positive:

Manufacturing sales would rise from $610 billion in 2015 to $1.2 trillion;
Exports of manufactured goods would increase from $348 billion in 2015 to $696 billion;
Create nearly $448 billion in additional GDP in the Canadian economy; and,
Create an estimated 4.1 million additional jobs.

Together, we can manufacture change.

Industrie 20130: Manufacturing Growth, Innovation and Prosperity for Canada

http://www.industrie2030.ca/download.php?id=67

Summary

Manufacturing is the heart of Canada’s economy.

Every individual and every business in Canada is directly supported by manufactured goods. A full 28 per cent of all economic activity across the country is tied to manufacturing. So too is 27 per cent of total employment.

Manufacturing Innovation

Canadian manufacturers are creating new technologies, services and products in a wide range of critical segments including transportation, communication, health care, clean tech, natural resources, food, and

electronics. They are selling those products in Canada and around the world. Last year, Canadian manufacturers exported nearly $350 billion in value-added goods – accounting for a full two-thirds of Canada’s total international sales.

In spite of its critical importance to our economic well-being, Canada’s manufacturing sector is often misunderstood and at risk of being taken for granted. Canadians do not realize the full value of manufacturing and the products, technologies and services that it creates for customers around the world. Government policies focus on innovation, exports, or economic development and diversification, but often ignore manufacturing, thinking it to be from a bygone era, with no role to play in advancing those priorities.

In fact, manufacturers drive research and development in Canada. They turn ideas into innovative new products capable of solving our most daunting economic and social challenges. They are often the first users of new technologies. In short, manufacturers are both the driver of, and the market for, a Canadian innovation agenda.

Canada’s manufacturing sector is being overlooked at the very time that the world of manufacturing is transforming – a transformation that brings with it tremendous opportunities as well as risks. New

technologies are changing both customer demands and manufacturing processes. Advances in new technologies are creating new products and solutions that are allowing manufacturers to help tackle the world’s great problems. Growing global competition is disrupting established markets and trade routes. Labour-intensive manufacturing countries like China are rapidly moving up the value-added chain, while advanced manufacturing countries like Germany are pressing farther ahead, employing even more advanced technologies and production methods to stay ahead of the curve.

Declining Competitiveness

At the same time, the cost of doing business in Canada is rising.

Manufacturers are moving to more competitive jurisdictions and foreign investment is passing Canada by. These trends are threatening not only the long-term sustainability of manufacturing, but the millions of middleclass Canadians whose livelihoods are directly and indirectly tied to the sector. Policies that focus on middle-class growth and innovation need to recognize that is it manufacturing that drives innovation and creates middle-class jobs. Without that underlying economic driver, Canadians and their governments cannot achieve their desired policy outcomes.

The need for more supportive policies for manufacturers and exporters is evident in many of the key indicators that determine global success in the sector. Manufacturing productivity rates are falling behind those of our global competitors. Investment in new capital equipment and technologies is declining. The business climate is deteriorating as the regulatory and tax burden increases. Companies are investing less in innovation, resulting in the creation of fewer new products.

Canada is importing more value-added goods than it is exporting, dramatically reducing sales and growth opportunities. Canada is falling behind – at risk of becoming too high cost and not technically advanced or innovative enough to compete in the global market.

The Solution

Canada has two choices for how to respond. We can either continue to watch our manufacturing capacity and competitiveness erode, or we can embrace a national strategy that reinvigorates our manufacturing sector by leveraging advanced technologies and decisively addressing our longstanding domestic challenges.

We choose the latter. This is why the Industrie 2030 initiative is so important. Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters’ (CME’s) goal, which we share with our many partner organizations, was to shine a bright light on the manufacturing sector in Canada: to better understand where we stand today; to identify its challenges; and to chart a plan for growth.

The report that follows outlines this plan for growth. This plan and its recommendations stem directly from the input of over 1250 Canadian manufacturers and exporters of all sizes from all corners of the country.

While there is some regional and sectoral variation, the core priorities and recommendations are consistent. To tackle Canada’s challenge and double manufacturing output and value-added exports by 2030, Industrie 2030 participants recommended that public and private sector stakeholders focus their efforts on:

• Strengthening the existing and future skilled workforce, including at the management level

• Increasing rates of adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies

• Encouraging more new product development and commercialization

• Improving the business climate for investment

• Expanding access to domestic and foreign markets

The Industrie 2030 consultations, the research, this paper, and the supporting detailed reports are only the start of this process. CME and our partners will now set out to affect change, to reshape and to grow manufacturing in Canada. We will work aggressively to reach our end goal of doubling manufacturing output and value-added exports by 2030. We have developed key performance indicators to monitor our progress.

We invite all manufacturers, Canadians and governments to get involved, to manufacture growth, innovation and prosperity For Canada.

Together, we can manufacture change!
