AEM: Natural resource infrastructure growth key to Canada’s economic security
Kip Eideberg celebrates the role that Canadian equipment manufacturers play in boosting the economy
In response to the announcement that Saskatchewan has joined the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Ontario and Alberta to advance new natural resource infrastructure projects, AEM Senior Vice President of Government and Industry Relations Kip Eideberg released the following statement:
"The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) welcomes the Government of Saskatchewan joining with Ontario and Alberta in signing an agreement to explore the potential of new pipeline and railway projects that will increase the flow of critical minerals and energy to new markets and strengthen Canada's long-term economic security.
Canada's equipment manufacturers are committed to meeting the opportunity to build up the country's economy head-on, using Canadian-made equipment powered by Canadian labour. New pipelines that connect western Canadian oil and gas to new and existing refineries in Ontario and a new deep-sea port in James Bay will help meet increasing demand for Canadian energy abroad, further cementing Canada's status as a critical player in the global clean technology supply chain.
We look forward to working with all levels of government to ensure these vital projects move from feasibility studies to reality, creating lasting benefits for Canadian workers, communities, and the Canadian national economy."
