Foreign investors are showing more interest in Canada, according to John Stackhouse, senior vice-president in the office of the chief executive officer of the Royal Bank of Canada, and Warren Keading, Saskatchewan’s Minister or Trade and Export Development.
They were speaking recently at the annual conference of Seeds Canada.
Stackhouse said his bank is getting calls from investors in Europe, Asia and the United States.
“We are seeing more interest in Canada right now than we’ve seen in well over a decade,” he said.
“We are at a critical, critical moment in this country,” said Stackhouse.
Keading said the interest in Canada is “phenomenal.”
“We’re no longer chasing investment. Investment is now coming here chasing us,” he said.
Stackhouse said the entire economy needs to ensure it’s “go time” to take advantage of the large amount of capital flowing into Canada.
