CIAC Responds to 2025 Federal Election Results 

April 30, 2025

The Chemistry Industry Association of Canada (CIAC) congratulates Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberal Party of Canada on forming government. 

Canada stands at a pivotal moment. Our country faces significant economic challenges, particularly regarding global competitiveness and cross-border tensions. Urgent, decisive action is needed to future-proof our economy. CIAC remains committed to working collaboratively with the new government to advance policies that foster investment, create good jobs, strengthen Canada’s manufacturing base, and advance environmental leadership. 

As the fourth largest manufacturing sector in Canada, the chemistry industry is a critical enabler of Canada’s broader manufacturing industries and supply chains. CIAC members produce essential industrial chemicals and plastics that support key sectors, including critical minerals, automotive, construction, energy, forestry, and agri-food. With 95 per cent of all manufacturing relying on chemistry and plastics, our industry is indispensable to achieving Canada’s economic, environmental and climate goals. 

We extend our best wishes to Prime Minister Carney and the incoming government for success in the weeks and months ahead. CIAC looks forward to engaging constructively to deliver outcomes that matter to Canadians, industry, and the environment.
