Since 2016, we have served as the national voice of cleantech, and our mission remains clear: to accelerate Canada’s clean technology sector into a global powerhouse of investment, innovation, and job creation—supporting a strong, low-carbon economy.

One Canadian Clean Economy Task Force & Budget

 

November has been busy! Lots happening and most of it linked in one way or the other to the budget and the challenging economic times we are living through.

CCTA is a proud member of the One Canadian Clean Economy Task Force. Together with a group of representatives across the clean economy we participated in the development of The North Star Action Plan lays out 30 solutions aimed at this government’s biggest priorities: selecting strategic projects of national significance, reducing internal trade barriers, advancing Indigenous reconciliation, and realizing a federal climate competitiveness strategy.

And then there was the Budget! We’re pleased to see several elements that Canada Cleantech Alliance recommended in our Pre-Budget submission reflected in Budget 2025 — including progress on investment tax credits, SR&ED modernization, trade diversification, and capital mobilization.
Of course, more work remains — and details will matter. But overall, this is not a bad Budget for cleantech competitiveness and deployment in Canada.
