Dear John,

For decades, the maritime provinces have lagged the rest of Canada in business investment, and in turn, have suffered sub-par economic growth and lower living standards.

A new study published by the Fraser Institute today finds that from at least 1990 to 2020, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island have all suffered below-average business investment.

Consider the growth in business investment (excluding residential construction) compared to the national average from 1990 to 2018:

Nova Scotia - 70.9% less. New Brunswick - 46.0% less. Alberta - 69.3% more.

Dig into the numbers further by checking out the full study here [[link removed]].

Sincerely,

Niels Veldhuis

President

The Fraser Institute
