Canada’s prosperity relies on global stability, the rules-based multilateral trading system, cooperation among like-minded partners and respect for sovereign states.
Canada is blessed with an abundance of natural resources, which are the source of much of the country’s prosperity. Canadian energy producers and mining companies are key enablers of the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Sound fiscal policy, investments to enhance growth and productivity, and competitive tax rates are fundamental to success in the global economy.
To succeed in today’s global economy, Canada needs a strategy that brings ideas to life and enhances the country’s competitive advantages.
An aging population and increased global competition for talent requires that Canada work harder to attract, retain and develop its human capital. Employers have a responsibility to contribute to this effort by ensuring healthy, diverse and inclusive workplaces.
Goldy Hyder draws a link between Toronto’s success and the overall strength of Canada’s economy in a story by The Globe and Mail about COVID-19 closures.
“We can’t get the country’s economy back on track, without Toronto getting back on track. We really need to have a strategy now on how we can co-exist with COVID as we await the full rollout of the vaccines.”
Goldy Hyder, President and Chief Executive Officer, Business Council of Canada
