Yes, we should have an advanced manufacturing strategy for the country. Call it an “industrial strategy” or anything you want, it doesn't matter. Certainly, the CME, working with our colleagues at CSPA and the Cement Association, has called for years on the federal and provincial governments to implement advanced manufacturing strategies for the country.
However, the issue about supply chains is very complicated. We don't even understand what we produce in Canada. A year ago, when we were trying to figure out who makes medical devices in the country, it was a good indication that we had a very limited idea of what actually is produced in this country. We had to map our own supply chains first.
Steel, cement, and now maybe bigger sectors might know, but generally speaking, our supply chains and their capabilities are still not very well understood in this country.
