Canada Investment Summit: Carney targets $1 trillion in new capital
Canada’s inaugural national investment summit in Toronto has seen several major economic announcements as Prime Minister Mark Carney pursues a goal of attracting $1 trillion in new investment over the next five years.
Key developments include Bell Canada’s plan to expand its AI data center project in Saskatchewan, with a potential capital investment of up to $52.5 billion. To support large-scale projects, the federal government announced that investors committing $1 billion or more will receive priority access to the Advance Income Tax Rulings program through the Canada Revenue Agency.
In the financial sector, TD Bank has pledged $150 billion over five years to support Canadian projects, while eight major financial institutions have collectively committed over $300 billion toward energy, critical minerals, defense, and infrastructure. Additionally, the Manitoba government announced it will waive provincial sales tax on major capital spending for the Port of Churchill to stimulate international interest in energy and shipping infrastructure.
