Ensuring Canada’s Economic Future

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Just back from a terrific event, Rotman School Dean Roger Martin and Canadian pollster Michael Adams discussed how Canada can prosper during and after the economic crisis. Martin summarized work led by Jim Milway of the Institute for Competitiveness & Prosperity and our own Martin Prosperity Institute which identifies Canada’s prosperity gap vis-a-vis the U.S. and other advanced nations. Adams summarized the latest polling data on Canadian opinions on the crisis, the state of capitalism, and hot-button issues like immigration. My Rotman colleague Ajay Agrawal discussed his research on the relationship between immigration flows and innovation. McKinsey’s Sacha Ghai outlined the findings of Breaking Away from the Pack, a recent study of corporate performance in Canada. Read the full report here; a short oped by Martin and Milway here.
