Canada at a Crossroads

CANADA AT A CROSSROADS THE PATH TO INNOVATION, PRODUCTIVITY & PROSPERITY IN 2025 THE LOST DECADE UNSUSTAINABLE PROSPERITY Canada's resources are in global demand, leading to reasonable prosperity – but tradeable sectors don't grow. PEOPLE WITHOUT JOBS WITHOUT PEOPLE Prolonged economic recovery results in people without jobs and jobs without skilled people. GLOBAL DEMAND As the Canadian brand loses its luster, immigration flows slow and Canadians seek new opportunities abroad. Aggressive outsourcing hollows out Canadian businesses. AGGRESSIVE OUTSOURCING The education system fails to evolve to meet new labour market conditions, producing "smart people" with unsellable skills. SMART PEOPLE CANADIAN BUSINESSES WILLING TO WORK THE NORTHERN TIGER GLOBAL UNCERTAINTY Canada seizes global uncertainty as an opportunity for profound bold change. New globally competitive sectors, like green technology and ICT, are spawned by the strength of an integrated, technology-savvy, diverse and highly-engaged workforce. IF WE TAKE BOLD ACTION TODAY WE CAN BECOME THE NORTHERN TIGER IN 2025 YOU HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY AND CAN SHAPE YOUR FUTURE.
