summit in its history.<br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-content c-article-content--business js-article-content\">\n<p>The Canadian government is making its case to global investors, and it

investors on a country rich in minerals and energy that is actively trying to reduce its reliance on the US.<\/p>\n<p>The guest list is substantial.<\/p>\n<p>Finance Minister Fran\u00e7ois-Philippe Champagne said those attending control more than C$120 trillion (\u20ac74.7tn) in global capital.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives of Bank of America and Berkshire Hathaway are due at Tuesday&#8217;s main event, alongside Nigerian industrialist Aliko Dangote, Africa&#8217;s wealthiest businessman, and envoys from major Gulf investment agencies.<\/p>\n<h2>Answering the critics<\/h2>\n<p>Canada has spent years being told by investors that it is a difficult place to do business, with project approvals slow and burdened by bureaucracy, but Champagne argues that this is now in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Officials, he told AFP, &#8220;understand now that speed and skill are what&#8217;s needed to seize this golden opportunity&#8221;, adding simply that &#8220;the world has changed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian finance minister also pointed to shifts in the global economy that favour Canadian resources.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id

How far can Brussels go?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;We have the critical minerals to power the growth, and I would say a lot of people see critical minerals as the fuel of the 21st century,&#8221; Champagne said, noting that the country also has &#8220;an abundance of energy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Selling trust, not comparisons<\/h2>\n<p>The summit takes place against the backdrop of deteriorating relations with Washington.<\/p>\n<p>Trade ties have unravelled since US President Donald Trump returned to office, and the White House is expected to impose further tariffs this month, yet American investors are still coming.<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether Canada was marketing itself as a hedge against a more protectionist US, Champagne pushed back against that characterisation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t compare with others. Capital will go where it finds the opportunities,&#8221; he said, adding that &#8220;the most sought-after commodity today is trust. Canada is more and more seen as a trusted partner in a very uncertain world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The EU sits at the centre of the Canadian prime minister&#8217;s realignment efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Carney will fly to Strasbourg after the summit to address the European Parliament, continuing a push that began with his address to the World Economic Forum in January, where he called on middle powers to band together against what he termed &#8220;superpower aggression&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Champagne also said that the alliance between Canada and the EU would deepen this week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our European partners are keen on a strong transatlantic relationship,&#8221; he said, arguing that the bloc is drawn to Canadian &#8220;certainty and predictability&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<footer class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-contributors c-article-contributors-supplementary u-margin-top-2 u-padding-top-2\">\n<p>Additional sources<strong> \u2022 AFP<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/footer>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-share-comment u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__links u-align-items-center u-display-flex u-justify-content-center js-c-article-share-comment-share\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Share<\/span><\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Comments<\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label c-article-share-comment__label--always\">Add Euronews on Google<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-you-might-also-like\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-you-might-also-like\">\n<h2 class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__title\">\n        Read more<br \/>\n      <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__container\">\n<article id=\"abe-2925757-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 m-modeXL-1\" data-nid=\"2925757\" data-cid=\"9913579\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2925757-label-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/91\/35\/79\/480x270_cmsv2_01fb76f5-d4bd-5e3d-a993-4613397e114e-9913579.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"The Commerzbank is pictured in Frankfurt, Germany, Monday, March 16, 2026.

Capital will go where it finds the opportunities,&#8221; he said, adding that &#8220;the most sought-after commodity today is trust. Canada is more and more seen as a trusted partner in a very uncertain world.&#8221;The EU sits at the centre of the Canadian prime minister&#8217;s realignment efforts.Carney will fly to Strasbourg after the summit to address the European Parliament, continuing a push that began with his address to the World Economic Forum in January, where he called on middle powers to band together against what he termed &#8220;superpower aggression&#8221;.Champagne also said that the alliance between Canada and the EU would deepen this week.&#8221;Our European partners are keen on a strong transatlantic relationship,&#8221; he said, arguing that the bloc is drawn to Canadian &#8220;certainty and predictability&#8221;.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2026\/09\/15\/canada-pitches-itself-as-a-haven-for-investors-in-a-very-uncertain-world&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/91\/38\/70\/1200x675_cmsv2_c9900e73-a42e-5933-b215-13c85b167382-9913870.jpg&#8221;] Gaza UN urges full access for investigators as Gaza death toll mounts Iran Iran&#8217;s new ayatollah is a Nolan fan keen on start-ups, in-laws say Economy China&#8217;s retail sales weaken as spending remains sluggish Culture news Thirty years on, what is left of the French Touch?
