In the past year, Canada’s new government has signed 20 new economic and defence partnerships, secured nearly $100 billion in foreign investment commitments, and diversified trade across Europe and the Indo-Pacific.
Today, the Prime Minister welcomed an agreement between Airbus and AirAsia to purchase 150 Airbus A220-300 aircraft – the largest order for a Canadian-designed and produced aircraft in history.
With every aircraft assembled in Airbus Canada’s facility in Mirabel, Québec, this agreement will strengthen the province’s dynamic and world-leading aerospace manufacturing industry and support thousands of careers across Canada from skilled trades to engineering.
Airbus’s assembly facility in Mirabel is its most comprehensive commercial aircraft manufacturing site outside Europe. It employs over 4,600 workers and is a cornerstone of Canada’s world-leading expertise in aviation and aerospace technologies.
In a world of rapid change, Canada’s new government is focused on what we can control. We are growing a stronger economy – one that is built on the solid foundation of thriving Canadian workers and strong Canadian industries.
