Profile of the environment sector / prepared for the Expert Panel on Skills by Chris Parsley.: C21-36/30-2000E-PDF

"The global environmental industry has grown significantly in recent years and can be expected to continue growing. The main driver behind this industry is a market created by regulation, voluntary agreements, and industry and international protocols. Significant technical knowledge and the ability to stay abreast of technological developments are critical in this industry. With a relatively small domestic market, the greatest opportunity for growth of the Canadian environmental industry is in international markets. However, unlike the United States with 28 percent of the global market, Canada has very little profile, with just 3 percent. Although Canada's environmental industry is a world leader in technical expertise and consulting, it has difficulty leveraging this expertise into high value-added products associated with manufacturing, construction and development activities"--Abstract, page iii.
