During the Elevate tech conference, Canada’s Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne supported Shopify President Harley Finkelstein’s call for Canadian businesses to pursue greater ambition.

Champagne agreed, stating that Canada must “be more of everything,” while addressing AI regulation through a voluntary code. However, critics suggest that systemic changes, such as improved infrastructure and tax policies, are necessary to keep Canadian businesses competitive globally.
