Building Fortress Am-Can to Accelerate Strategic Resource Development
- The U.S. and Canada are each country’s most significant trading partners, representing trillions of dollars in annual economic activity and millions of jobs on both sides of the border.
- The success of Fortress Am-Can depends on critical minerals needed for new technologies including advanced military technologies that will define geopolitical and economic security for the next century.
- Ontario has an abundance of critical minerals. At a time when China is winning the race to dominate these resources and restrict sales to the U.S., we need to urgently get our critical minerals out of the ground, processed and shipped to factory floors building for the future.
- With our vast reserves of critical minerals, highly skilled workforce, and robust manufacturing capacity, Ontario stands ready to expand the supply chain for these strategic resources. This will ensure important sectors like IT, communications, energy, aerospace, and defence are not subject to disruptions from unfriendly countries.
- By building Fortress Am-Can our two countries can forge ahead into the 21st century knowing that our jobs, prosperity, and security are assured for generations to come.
