What happened
Mark Carney stated that 85% of Canada's exports are directed to the United States. This statement coincided with a report from PwC Canada and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, which noted that barriers are preventing Canada from achieving full economic leadership in key industries like artificial intelligence, mining, and defence.
