Productivity, innovation adoption and standard of living are intrinsically linked. Due to lagging productivity, Canada’s standard of living has dramatically declined — a trend felt by individuals, communities and businesses across the country.
Join Stephen Tapp, CEO and chief economist at the Centre for the Study of Living Standards, for the final lecture in The Canadian Standard of Living, Productivity and Innovation series. This hybrid event will offer insights about:
- Putting Canada's productivity problems in context
- Responding to the U.S. trade shock
- Benefiting from the artificial intelligence revolution
- Addressing youth economic challenges to restore hope for future generations
- Expert perspective and discussion with Alison Loat.
In-person attendees are invited to arrive at 5:00 p.m. for networking and refreshments. The lecture will begin promptly at 5:45 p.m. for online and in-person attendees.
