Interdependence
What did you have for breakfast this morning?

3. Interdependence
To enjoy breakfast, you must rely on trade with foreign businesses
Without trade, you’d probably just be eating toast
Other nations are equally dependant on trade for things they need
For example, the U.S. relies on Canada’s energy (gas, oil, hydroelectric power), many nations rely on our wheat for their flour, our trees for paper, and our fish for dinner

4. Interdependence
All nations in today’s world must depend upon each other for products or services that their industries either cannot make or cannot grow, or that other nations grow better.
The reliance of two or more nations on each other for products or services is called interdependence
There are 3 main areas of interdependence in trade: primary, secondary and tertiary industries

5. Primary Industries
Canada’s export strength is still in the primary industry sector; the sector consists of extraction and initial processing of all raw materials
There are 5 major primary industries: agriculture, fishing, hunting and trapping, forestry and logging, and energy and mining
A 6th primary industry is often added to the list; water

6. Primary Industries
Primary Industries are situated mainly in eastern and western Canada
West produces: oil, gas, metals, chemicals, and agricultural products (beef and wheat)
Atlantic provinces capitalize upon their offshore oil reserves, fisheries, and mines

7. Primary Industries
Primary industries add value to products by extracting them from the earth or sea and processing them
Our greatest number of exports, both to U.S. and other trading partners, come from businesses in the primary sectors
For example, we sell more oil to the U.S. than the Middle East (about two million barrels per day)

Quick Facts

9. Secondary Industries
Secondary Industries are made up of primary manufacturing (processing) and secondary manufacturing.
Secondary manufacturing produces both capital goods (products used by businesses i.e., trucks, machinery) and consumer goods (clothing, packaged food, tv’s)
Canada has a weak manufacturing sector

10. Secondary Industries
Canada relies on foreign investors to invest in businesses in Canada, provide jobs for Canadians, and make the products we use
Over 50% of all the processing and manufacturing businesses in Canada are owned by foreign companies i.e., Kelloggs, Proctor and Gamble, Kraft Foods
An economy such as Canada’s who relies heavily on businesses owned by foreign companies, is called a branch-plant economy

11. Secondary Industries & Branch Plants
A branch plant is a factory operated from a country outside of it’s host country
Kellogg’s for example, is based in Michigan, but it’s head office is in Mississauga and it’s main manufacturing plant is in London, ON
The Canadian Govn’t initiated this in 1879 through the National Policy, which stated that businesses wanting to reach Canadian markets needed to build factories in Canada
This resulted in direct investment but also resulted in the branch-plant economy

12. Advantages/Disadvantages of Branch-Plant Economy
Branch plants employ Canadian workers, pay Canadian taxes, and provide provides on which Canada depends
Disadvantages to relying on foreign ownership are:
1.Business Functions: operations reduced from functions performed at head office such as research and development, and upper management
2. Innovation: little in the way of innovation at the branch plant; it follows the lead of parent company
3. Use of non-Canadian Materials: satellite factories rely on imports from country where parent company is located
4. Exports: branch plants rarely export; they serve the Canadian market

13. Tertiary Industries
Tertiary industries do not make anything or extract anything from the earth, but provide necessary services to other businesses and consumers
Ex: Banking, construction, communications, transportation, etc
Tertiary industries make up what is known as the service sector

14. Tertiary Industries Cont’d
The largest service industry is retail sales
Retailers traditionally buy merchandise from a manufacturer or a distributor and sell it to the final user
Ex: Diamond companies create gems out of raw diamonds and sell their products to retail jewellers who add the final value to the product by making it available to the consumer

15. Tertiary Industries – Cont’d
Canadian retailers are major importers, either directly or indirectly of foreign products – just look at the shelves in shoes and clothing stores
Foreign retailers dominate the Canadian retail service sector – few major chain stores not owned by corporations with head offices in another country

16. Popular Canadian Retailers that are Foreign Owned
Wal mart
Future Shop
H & M
Zellers
Foot Lockers
Costco
Sears
Ikea
Home Depot
HMV
The Body Shop
