An Economic Policy Agenda for a New Majority Government builds on the result of Canada’s latest election. On May 2nd, 2011, Canadians decided to give the Conservatives the parliamentary majority they were seeking. By many media accounts, voter confidence in the Conservatives’ ability to manage the economy was an important factor in that decision. While Signal49 Research assumes that the federal budget presented in March will be reintroduced, the achievement of a majority government—after seven years of minorities—creates an opportunity to move beyond the short-term imperatives that shaped that budget, and to consider strategic approaches to the longer-term challenges facing Canada. This briefing also offers insights into, and recommendations for, five priority areas for a focused growth agenda.
