10. www.cme-mec.ca Jobs Depend on Manufacturing

11. www.cme-mec.ca Competitiveness Issues Need to boost productivity to ensure business competitiveness as the basis of a manufacturing strategy – this is also needed to ensure economic growth, good jobs, and a high standard of living for Ontarians. Manufacturing recovering from deep recession (sales down 30% in 2009) – sustainable recovery still uncertain. Need to reverse declining rate of capital investment in the face of deteriorating production, financial, & investment performance. Intense competition for investment, product mandates, and market share as market power shifting to Asia and other emerging industrial economies. Highly integrated in North American & global supply chains. Inability to pass along costs to customers/consumers Increasing costs of regulatory compliance, energy, transportation erode cash flow and investment performance. Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters

12. www.cme-mec.ca Pre-Requisites for GHG Reductions In manufacturing, improvements in emission intensity performance and GHG emission reductions will continue to be driven by: –Certainty with respect to regulatory and investment conditions. –Investment in new and upgraded facilities, machinery and equipment –Process and product innovation to improve energy efficiency and replace or upgrade industrial processes –Productivity enhancement to achieve the ROI necessary for investment –Customer demand requiring integrated Canadian, North American, and global approaches to product development and process improvement –Practical outcomes that manufacturers can achieve at a competitive rate of return on investment Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters

13. www.cme-mec.ca Towards a Strategy for GHG Emission Reductions Goal: Accelerate the rate of technological progress in reducing emissions in Ontario by a factor of 2.5X. In manufacturing, accelerate average annual rate of capital investment to 5% over the next decade. Pre-Conditions for Success: –Policy certainty with clear and consistent priorities –Regulatory goals consistent with GHG emission reductions –Fiscal and regulatory policies that encourage capital investment and productivity improvement –Consistent regulatory framework across North America Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters

14. www.cme-mec.ca Industry Recommendations Prioritize and align regulatory goals with competitiveness objectives Encourage emission reductions and productivity improvement by aligning fiscal and regulatory measures to encourage investment and capital turnover One Ministry to take the lead on regulation Simple, efficient compliance requirements – Count Carbon once Reasonable, practical, and achievable emission reduction targets No conflicting priorities or regulatory requirements No competitiveness gaps - Consistent North American approach Regular consultations with industry on performance & progress – Quarterly meetings & Cabinet office liaison Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters
