Budget 2024

Tax and spend fiscal plan will inhibit growth

In the Financial Post’s new Conversations series, Ivan Vella speaks with editor-in-chief Kevin Carmichael about how faster, more streamlined regulation can both boost Canada’s competitiveness and help the country reach its climate objectives. 

“We’ve got to go fast…For me, the thing that I would encourage is, if we see certain projects that we want to move forward, they need the chaperone. They need the concierge to make sure things get done. We can’t afford to let that sit on someone’s desk for a week. This is urgent. Just keeping that drumbeat going can make an enormous difference.”
