STATEMENT FROM VINCENT CARON, VICE PRESIDENT, CANADIAN MANUFACTURERS & EXPORTERS ON THE 2025 ONTARIO ELECTION

TORONTO, JANUARY 28, 2025 – Today, Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) sent a letter and a questionnaire to all Ontario party leaders, challenging them to outline clear and actionable strategies to safeguard Ontario’s manufacturing sector and protect local jobs ahead of the provincial election on February 27^th.

“With President Trump’s renewed threats of punitive tariffs on Canadian imports, Ontario manufacturers are facing an urgent crisis that could drastically reshape our economic future,” said Vincent Caron, Vice President Ontario Government Relations and Member Advocacy for CME. “As the election nears, this is not the time for vague promises. Manufacturers need concrete solutions that will bolster our competitiveness, secure investments, and support our workforce.”

To gauge how Ontario party leaders plan to navigate these challenges, address potential tariffs, and deliver a long-term manufacturing strategy, CME will publicly grade party responses to our manufacturing strategy questionnaire during a virtual event on February 21, 2025.

“We know all parties care about our economic future, but actions speak louder than words. It’s time for all parties to show their work,” concluded Caron.

Dear Ms. Serrao
Re: CME Submission on the Framework for Energy Innovation Working Group
(FEIWG) reports
Board File #: EB-2021-0118
On behalf of the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME), I submit the attached feedback
and recommendations on the OEB’s consultation. The CME commends the OEB for initiating the
FEIWG activities and supporting a cost-effective adoption of emerging technologies to provide
ratepayers with the lowest cost solutions to reliably meet Ontario’s emerging electricity system
needs. This is very relevant to many CME members.
These files have been submitted through the OEB’s online filing portal.
Yours very truly
