The Canadian government lays out a set of clear and predictable investment tax credits, low-cost strategic financing, and targeted investments and programming to respond to the unique needs of sectors or projects of national economic significance. These funding incentives function to stimulate our economy.
By providing strategic grants and incentives, the federal government aims to meet nationwide challenges in labour retention and rising costs/inflation for businesses, to provide investments in environmental initiatives, to support infrastructure for municipalities, and to encourage innovative agriculture.
