00:00:00.000 Nearly one-quarter of consumer goods firms preparing to exit Canada, industry CEO warns Parliament.
00:00:19.000 There's a number that should stop this country cold, 23%.
00:00:23.000 That is the share of companies in one of Canada's essential manufacturing and consumer goods sectors
00:00:28.000 now preparing to withdraw products from the Canadian market or exit entirely within the next two years.
00:00:33.680 It was delivered straight to Parliament at the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology
00:00:39.300 during its study on Canada's underlying productivity gaps and capital outflow.
00:00:44.900 Michael Graydon, the CEO of Food, Health and Consumer Products of Canada, didn't hedge or soften the message.

00:00:52.400 23% of our members expect to exit products from the Canadian marketplace within the next two years

00:01:34.520 now openly warning Parliament that they cannot afford to stay is a moment of clarity. It's also
00:01:39.580 a test. Either this country becomes a place where people can build things again quickly, affordably,
00:01:45.320 competitively, or it continues down the path that leads to empty factories,
00:01:49.760 hollowed out supply chains, and consumers who wonder why the shelves look thinner every year.
00:01:54.960 23% is not just a statistic, it's the sound of a warning bell ringing at full volume.
