Sénateur Tony Loffreda, appel à tous les fonds de pension : Investissez au Canada
MONTREAL – Dans ma chronique du mois dernier, j’ai fait valoir que le Canada a un problème majeur de croissance de la productivité et qu’il doit sérieusement envisager d’adopter un plan pluriannuel détaillé pour s’attaquer au cœur de ce problème.

MONTREAL – Il mese scorso, ho sostenuto che il Canada ha un importante problema di crescita della produttività e che deve seriamente pensare di adottare un piano strutturale e pluriennale per risolvere alla radice questa criticità. Bisogna trovare il modo di incentivare le imprese ad investire nelle nuove tecnologie, nell’innovazione e nei loro dipendenti. Non esiste un approccio univoco che possa garantire la crescita economica e rilanciare la scarsa produttività del Canada, in particolare in un’economia post-Covid.

We need to find ways of encouraging businesses to invest in new technologies, innovation, and its people. There is no silver bullet or a one-size-fits-all approach to ensuring our economic growth and boosting Canada’s lackluster productivity record, particularly in a post-Covid economy.
