Canada needs a sectoral approach to economic growth

Robert Asselin discusses the importance of a sectoral approach to a long-term economic growth plan. He identifies advanced manufacturing, clean tech, and bioscience as examples of sectors the government can focus on in a story in the Financial Times about the state of Canada’s economy.

“The economy has proven to be more resilient than most people thought six months ago. Unfortunately, growth is not being driven by productive investment but by consumption.”
