Combined with real estate, the building materials and construction industries contribute more to Canada's GDP than manufacturing, mining, and oil and gas extraction.
Government agencies, including the Competition Bureau (Bureau) and the Investment Review Division (IRD) of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) can have an impact on the business operations and transaction planning of building materials and construction companies in Canada.
