Bruce Power Suppliers Commit to Supporting Canadian Economy Amid US Trade Pressure
What happened
In response to economic pressure from the United States, Bruce Power solicited commitments from its suppliers to support the Canadian economy. These commitments were made during a two-day supply chain summit held on September 15 and 16. More than 100 of Bruce Power’s suppliers agreed to a five-pronged pledge to the nuclear operator.
Why it matters
The commitments require suppliers to buy from Canadian companies whenever possible, expand the supply chain base, and increase production within Canada. Furthermore, they pledged to support workers affected by tariff-related job losses through retraining and targeted hiring.
