OECD says Canada Growing Re-Orientation Needed
Filed in archive Economic Outlook by Greg Balanko-Dickson on June 28, 2006

Canada's economic performance has been excellent in almost all respects and Canadians continue to enjoy among the highest living standards in the OECD. The economy is undergoing significant structural change in response to soaring commodity prices, expanding oil and gas production and exchange rate appreciation and has so far shown a remarkable capacity to adjust.
Looking ahead, the key challenges for all levels of government will be to lift
productivity growth and to maintain sustainable fiscal and social policies to deal with the pressures arising from population aging. Some broad re-orientations of policy should underpin the strategy.Major Recommendations
1. Improve the overall business environment.
2. Foster innovation.
3. Ensure fiscal arrangements are efficient.
4. Tackle disadvantage and strengthen social development.
