# Ontario Promotes Canadian-Made Procurement in Innisfil

Ontario Energy and Mines Minister Stephen Lecce used a business roundtable in Innisfil to call for greater procurement of Canadian-made machinery, components, materials, and technology, alongside investment in regional mining and energy manufacturing. The remarks point to a provincial priority that could benefit Ontario-based suppliers, but the signal identifies no solicitation, contract value, confirmed funding, or grant program.

- Suppliers of Canadian-made equipment, components, materials, and technology for mining and energy can assess how their offerings align with the stated local-procurement emphasis.
- The announcement is a policy signal, not an open procurement opportunity; contractors should not treat it as a solicitation or confirmed funding commitment.
- Businesses can follow provincial procurement and business-support announcements for any specific opportunities arising from the stated priorities.
