About the project
Against the backdrop of an increasingly tumultuous geopolitical environment, Canada’s economy needs an aggressive growth plan. Mission Canada is the Public Policy Forum’s answer. This initiative will outline the critical steps Canada should take to leverage its comparative advantages, including abundant natural resources and a talented workforce, in order to drive inclusive economic growth.
This work will outline key considerations for policymakers and industry leaders by:
- Developing a framework to identify high-impact sectors to serve as engines for economic growth.
- Convening partners to explore key policy levers on which government decision-makers can push or pull to create a business environment conducive to growth in these sectors.
- Identifying tactical opportunities to diversify international markets and enhance trans-Atlantic and trans-pacific trade.
Mission Canada will also be strengthened by thematic cross-cutting explorations, beginning with Build Big Talent — a comprehensive effort to enhance Canada’s university, college and research ecosystem, advance smart immigration policies, and develop the skilled workforce needed to achieve the country’s economic ambitions.
Taken together, Mission Canada provides the frame for PPF’s sectoral deep dives, starting with Build Big Things: A Playbook to Turbocharge Investment in Major Energy, Critical Mineral and Infrastructure Projects (produced by the Energy Future Forum), and PPF’s work on Healthy Canadians, Competitive Canada (produced by the Life Sciences Forum).
