- The Canadian economy did not perform well over the first few months of the year, but growth will pick up through the rest of 2015.
- A wind of change is blowing through the country, as economic growth will be the strongest in Central Canada, Manitoba, and British Columbia over the near term.
- Real GDP growth in Atlantic Canada is expected to pick up. The exception is Newfoundland and Labrador, where the economy is being hurt by a drop in investment.
