To spur economic growth, the prime minster says he will focus on improving energy security by fortifying supply chains for critical minerals and accelerating the use of artificial intelligence. As well, Carney says Canada will try to generate jobs by securing partnerships that will open new markets and generate big investments in infrastructure.
