The Liberals announced their “Plan for Prosperity” this morning. From the press release:
In order to meet our goal of ensuring that Canadians enjoy a quality of life that is second to none, the Plan proposes action in four key areas.
- Creating Opportunities for All Canadians: In order to fully participate in the 21st century economy, we must ensure that all Canadians have the opportunity to acquire the skills, training and education they need.
- Advancing an Innovative Economy: Canada must create a leading-edge economy that creates and adopts new technologies within a framework of environmental sustainability.
- Positioning Canada at the Centre of Global Commerce and Networks: Canada is a trading nation and we must adapt to changes in the global marketplace, including the rapid growth of India, China and Brazil.
- Building the Right Investment Environment: The best way for government to support jobs, growth and prosperity is to create the right conditions for private investment and innovation.
The Plan sets out a medium-term plan for the Canadian economy. It cannot be achieved in one year or one budget, but the dramatic turnaround in our economy over the last decade proves that it can be achieved, to the benefit of all Canadians.
I don’t know what any of this means, but man does it sound chock-full of substance!
