Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Tim Hodgson says that Canada needs the “same spirit” that mobilized the country’s workforce and industrial base during and after World War II in order to rebuild the nation’s economy today.

Delivering a keynote speech at the Toronto Region Board of Trade on June 25, Hodgson said he wants all Canadians to “stand side-by-side” as Canada moves forward on major projects of national importance in resources, energy, and infrastructure.
