Canadian aspirations to achieve significant productivity gains against its competitors are being hampered by under investment in equipment and plant infrastructure, according to a brief report from the CD Howe Institute. While Canadian business investment per worker has generally matched that of OECD nations since 1995, it has slipped recently to 95 cents vs $1 in the OECD. The gap is more pronounced in comparison with the G7 and US, when Canada's investment is 8 cents and 22 cents less per dollar respectively. The gap in Quebec and Ontario is even greater. Quebec investment is about 65 cents per dollar in the OECD and less than 70 cents per dollar in Ontario. FMI www.cdhowe.org....
