Dear John,

A new study published by the Fraser Institute finds that Canada performed poorly on a number of important investment, employment and productivity indicators when compared to other high-income developed countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

For example:

Growth in GDP per person - Canada ranked 20th out of 31 at 7.2%. The OECD average was 11.5% Business Investment - Canada had the second lowest level as a share of the economy. Growth in private non-residential business investment - Canada was the third worst among the OECD countries. Employment in the government sector - increased by 17.3% and was the fourth highest amount OECD countries. Labour productivity - increased to 10.3%, which is lower than the OECD average of 11.2%.

Canada’s relative underperformance, whether measured as growth in living standards, attracting investment, or the performance of the labour market, started more than a decade ago – and is actually worsening.
