Carney Summit Touts $500B, Exposes Mining Scale Gap
Carney said the new deduction will cut the tax rate on new investment and help spur nearly $500 billion in private commitments.
- On Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the "Productivity Mega Deduction" at the Canada Investment Summit in Toronto, allowing businesses to immediately deduct costs for a broader range of eligible assets including pipelines, mining property, and infrastructure.
- The measure expands the existing Productivity Super-Deduction, increasing eligible assets to more than 65 percent from roughly 15 percent and reducing Canada's marginal effective tax rate on new business investment from roughly 13 percent to 6.4 percent.
- Ottawa estimates the fiscal cost at $36 billion over five years, while Carney claims the policy covers more than four times the previously eligible capital assets, positioning Canada as "by far the most tax-competitive advanced economy for new investment."
- Investors from nearly 30 countries committed nearly $500 billion toward Canadian businesses and infrastructure at the summit, where CPP Investments and Brookfield Asset Management launched the $50 billion Maple Fund for critical infrastructure and strategic industries.
- These commitments aim to strengthen Canada's economic resilience, with BMO mobilizing $70 billion across critical sectors over 10 years and The Ontario Teachers investing an additional $10 billion in Canadian opportunities by 2027.
