Description
Canada is confronting a convergence of economic pressures: prolonged stagnation in productivity, declining business investment per worker, and unprecedented policy uncertainty exacerbated by external shocks such as U.S. tariffs. These challenges threaten national prosperity and underscore the need for transformative action.

This course delves into the structural issues outlined in CPA Ontario’s Meeting the Moment report, offering CPAs practical tools and frameworks to assess economic vulnerabilities, advise on productivity-enhancing investments, and implement governance practices that align with long-term value creation.
