Ottawa, ON – September 22, 2026 – In advancing economic resilience, we are only as strong as our weakest links. A major new report from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and PwC Canada, Beyond Potential: Turning Canada’s advantages into growth and a better life for all, examines five critical sectors and what competitiveness gaps and global opportunities look like for each. The common story is a similar challenge across our areas of greatest strength – artificial intelligence and quantum computing, mining and critical minerals, energy, defence, and agri-food – we still are missing key pieces in each value chain that would accelerate our economic course toward global success and competitiveness.
