Dear John,

Our latest essays on policy reforms that can improve productivity growth and lay the foundation for a four-day work week are here!

The first essay concludes that eliminating interprovincial trade barriers would help the economy grow by more than $6,000 per household, paving the way for a possibility of a four-day work week. These barriers to investment and trade create artificial walls between our provincial and territorial economies at great cost to productivity and living standards. The second essay examines other national barriers meant to protect existing companies and firms from both domestic and foreign competition. In Canada, these barriers and protections come in many forms – including expensive licensing requirements, restrictions on the nationality of investors, subsidies to established firms, and privileged access to government contracts and outright monopoly grants.

And if you missed the previous two essays, not to worry – you can still read them here [[link removed]].

As always, be sure to share this useful information on social media!

Stay safe,

Niels Veldhuis
