What’s Going on with Canadian Productivity?

“Productivity is not everything, but it’s almost everything.”

There’s no single formula for reversing current productivity trends in Canada. Such classics as education and skills training, infrastructure development and getting things built in a timely manner have important roles to play. Certainly, creating conditions to encourage investment is critical. We need as a country to understand and address why we are falling behind on new machinery and equipment, intellectual property and the general adoption of leading-edge technologies.

On Monday, May 6, 2024 at 1:00 pm ET, join the Public Policy Forum (PPF) for a virtual discussion the state of productivity in Canada. Building on the conversations held at Canada Growth Summit 2024 and lessons from the OECD’s new chief economist, attendees will gain exclusive insights from Trevor Tombe, economics professor at the University of Calgary and Luiza Savage, executive editor at POLITICO.
