Carney says Canada is 'ahead on incentives' in race with U.S. to attract investment
Carney said the tax cuts will halve Canada’s marginal effective tax rate and help attract $1 trillion in new investment over five years.
- On Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney launched Canada's first national investment summit in Toronto, announcing plans to court private investors for major airports and implement tax reforms to spur foreign investment.
- The U.S. marginal tax rate stands at 16.9% following President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed last year, prompting Canada to reassess its competitive position for investment.
- Carney's government is lowering the marginal effective tax rate to 6.4% from 13%, with new tax measures making the incentive for companies to invest in Canada twice as great as in the United States.
- Former prime minister Stephen Harper addressed the summit, with Carney thanking him for his presence and noting that Harper's credibility with global investors continues to benefit Canada's standing.
- Critics including Indigenous leaders, environmentalists, and union representatives have questioned the summit, citing concerns about the future of public services, pipelines, and arms manufacturing in Canada.
