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:
- a closer look at policy priorities needed to drive Canada forward;
- practical insights on how new variables should inform strategies on national productivity and economic growth; and
- 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.

The Canadian Standard of Living, Productivity and Innovation lecture series, sponsored by Savvas Chamberlain and presented by CIGI, brings together CEOs, financiers, manufacturers, policy makers and influencers, empowering them to champion the adoption of innovation — a critical step in reversing Canada’s productivity decline.
Each lecture will feature a keynote presentation from a distinguished global or Canadian speaker, followed by a forward-looking discussion focused on practical pathways for change, highlighting how individual, institutional and policy choices can shape Canada’s long-term economic performance and prosperity.
