Marie Bountrogianni Yes Manufacturing is an important element of employment in Hamilton, and across Canada. We need to protect as many manufacturing jobs as possible, and draw manufacturers to Canada through our international competitive advantages: a skilled, educated workforce, and a labour pool rich in technological know-how.

The platform of the Liberal Party commits the party to creating jobs in micro-technology and green technology. These areas in which Hamilton is particularly competitive, given our vibrant university sector and educated population.
Stephen E. Brotherston Yes Greens believe we should be actively encouraging green companies to be locating in Canada instead of Germany or the USA. A focus on helping growth industries locate here instead of sunset industries.

If we want the Steel industry to survive in Hamilton – and we should – we need to help them become the greenest steel producers anywhere – to be leaders in their industry and a model other countries want their steel mills to follow. Canada can’t afford to let our existing major industries continue to slide into brown fields.
