VIDEO: Canada’s Clean Transportation Industry Could Double Employment by 2030 – If We Make the Right Strategic Decisions Now
StatsCan tells us there are already 262,000 Canadians employed in the “clean transportation” industry – a number that is already bigger than the number employed in the traditional automobile industry, and in the oil extraction industry. And studies make clear that number could double by 2030. If we make the right decisions now – both investment decisions and policy decisions.
Canada has players in every part of the clean transportation value chain – from creating “clean” hydrogen fuels, to being the leading manufacturer of electric buses in North America and a world leader in the IP surrounding hydrogen fuel cells.
Joe Biden is aiming to unleash a torrent of investment into this very industry. How do we make sure we can compete?
