Mission Canada

Amid an increasingly tumultuous geopolitical environment, Canada’s economy needs a plan. Mission Canada is the Public Policy Forum’s multi-year initiative to produce a blueprint outlining how Canada can leverage its economic advantage in these turbulent times. The project is driven by PPF’s vision for a Canada that has the stable and growing economy it needs to thrive.

This three-part blueprint will outline key steps for policymakers and industry leaders to leverage Canada’s economic advantage by:

Rebalancing our economy toward high-impact sectors. Focusing on sectors with the greatest potential for growth and the broadest opportunities in international markets is essential to building a more prosperous Canada. This includes prioritizing key producing sectors.
Identifying the right policy to enable sectoral growth. Creating a supportive environment for high-impact sectors will require a coordinated approach across tax and competitiveness policy, immigration and talent policy, regulatory approaches and infrastructure policy — while constraining the fiscal framework needed to deliver true net economic growth.
- As a first deep dive, the Public Policy Forum’s Build Big Things: A Playbook to Turbocharge Investment in Major Energy, Critical Mineral and Infrastructure Projects — produced by the Energy Future Forum — examines critical minerals and infrastructure as drivers for economic growth.
Diversifying international markets and recalibrating Canada-U.S. trade relations.
