Canada's Advanced Technology Supply Chains: Becoming More Fragile or More Resilient?
Les chaînes d’approvisionnement en technologies de pointe du Canada : vers plus de fragilité ou de résilience?

Panel Organized by: CMC Microsystems

A March 2022 survey by Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters reported nine out of ten companies in the sector are experiencing supply chain issues. The impact includes job losses, inability to fulfill export sales, and supply chain fragility threatening Canada’s long-term growth. Have businesses in Canada become over-dependent on global supply chains? What foresight can be provided by academics in policy studies? Is there a policy-driven role for government to intervene?  This panel will bring together executives from the manufacturing sector, policymakers, and academics to answer these questions and recommend solutions.
