Centre for Canadian Growth and Prosperity
Igniting ideas and actions to drive Canada’s prosperity.
Canada is at a crossroads.
For generations, our natural resources, trusted institutions, and diverse talent have been the pillars of our national strength. Today, these foundations are under pressure. The world is changing fast. For decades, we have witnessed declining productivity. We have seen our competitiveness and influence on the global stage steadily diminish. Yet amid trade tensions and a shifting global order, Canada has an unprecedented opportunity to change course. The choices we make now will shape the country’s future.
We are acting on this moment with the launch of the Centre for Canadian Growth and Prosperity (CCGP).
Our focus
Canada’s productivity pressures, geopolitical shifts, and technological change demand coordinated, evidence-based leadership. But today, the independent insight required to guide decision makers is fragmented.
CCGP fills this gap. We convene the experts needed to debate and shape viable solutions; deliver clear, actionable insights; and monitor progress to ensure accountability and long-term impact.
Backed by our national reach, independence, and decades of research leadership, CCGP brings the expertise and credibility required to unite business, government, and innovators around a shared agenda for growth and prosperity.
Research impact
Through the strength of our analysis, the clarity of our recommendations, and the depth of our relationships with decision-makers, we seek to change our country for the better. We hold a unique place in the Canadian landscape, fully independent and driven solely by the needs of Canadians rather than political or personal interests.
With one of the largest economics teams outside government, including 40 economists and 40 multidisciplinary researchers, many with PhDs, we bring the expertise and diversity required to tackle the country’s most complex challenges. Each year, we produce nearly 500 pieces of research that illuminate practical solutions to Canada’s biggest economic, environmental, and social issues.
