Partnering for investment in Canada’s prosperity Report on Canada 1 - January 2004
Ontario has a 15 percent prosperity gap against the United States because Canadians invest to achieve a 15 percent shortfall. To close the gap Canadian individuals, businesses, and governments must become partners in investing for tomorrow’s prosperity. This is the key conclusion from the report prepared by the Institute for Competitiveness and Prosperity. The report was released by Roger Martin, Chairman of the Institute and Dean of the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. The Institute identifies under investment in education, machinery and equipment, our cities, and processes for the economic integration of our immigrants as the key challenges in closing the prosperity gap. It also makes recommendations for breaking out of today’s under investment trap to ensure we are investing for tomorrow’s prosperity.
