Senator says Ottawa may have to buy stakes in Canadian companies to aid economy

Sen. Yuen Pau Woo, facilitator of the Independent Senators Group, speaks to reporters on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Tuesday, June 19, 2018.A prominent leader in Canada’s Senate says the Canadian government should be prepared to buy stakes in companies in order to steer the economy out of the pandemic.

Mr. Woo is an economist by training and profession and once worked as a central banker in Singapore. Before he was appointed to the Senate he headed the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada.The Senate leader said buying stakes in companies could help preserve Canada’s production capacity during an economic downturn caused by the impact of the novel coronavirus.

“My own view is that taking a direct stake in industries and companies are distressed is probably the best approach because it enables the government to strike the balance between meeting the needs of shareholders, executives and, more importantly, workers.”
