CCI brought Canadian innovators to Ottawa for a full day of meetings with federal decision makers.

Carney’s “Buy Canadian” Policy Doesn’t Require Companies to Be Canadian. Ottawa’s new purchasing rules let US giants qualify as domestic with little more than a mailing address, @erinotoole & @EliotPence write https://t.co/dErACHnIEV

Great piece. We are digging deeper into the data on 'Canadian' corporate ownership and control, starting from public procurement data. The new Buy Canadian policy does have encouraging consideration for Canadian content/value-added elements, with some key details to be clarified.

[François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 @FP_Champagne]

Canadian innovators need the freedom to test and develop new ideas without unnecessary barriers.

Budget 2025 introduces regulatory sandboxes across government, allowing new ideas to be tested free from outdated rules and red tape, while helping government design smart regulations that protect Canadians’ health and safety.

Under this framework Canadian innovative products will reach market faster, and be better regulated when they do.

[Daniel Perry @DanielWPerry1]

This authority would complement existing federal programs like IDEaS, Innovative Solutions Canada, and the CAN Health Network, strengthening the framework that supports innovation and timely market entry.

[Daniel Perry @DanielWPerry1]

As the House rises to wrap the session, @CADInnovators is watching several outstanding legislative measures relevant to Canada’s innovation ecosystem, including a proposed amendment in Budget 2025 to enable regulatory sandboxes across government. 1/3

[Daniel Perry @DanielWPerry1]

CCI has previously highlighted the value of regulatory sandboxes, including in A Mandate to Innovate. They offer a structured way to introduce regulatory flexibility, reduce uncertainty, and allow innovators and regulators to test new approaches while maintaining oversight. 2/3
