‘Are we a country that can build things anymore?’ Why big business in Canada is so worried

Despite the relative resilience of Canada’s economy, the business community is anxious about attracting capital as the country slips in global ranking related to ease of doing business and competitiveness. They’re concerned Canada is not seen as a place where things get done, especially given challenges building pipelines and Encana’s recent relocation to the United States.

On this week’s episode of Down to Business, host Emily Jackson discusses these concerns with Goldy Hyder, president and chief executive of the Business Council of Canada. His organization represents the CEOs and heads of 150 leading Canadian businesses, including heavy hitters across industries like Bombardier, TD Bank, and Rogers Communications.

And they have a to-do list for the new government. In a new report, big businesses are asking for simplified taxes and regulations; new foreign policy; natural resource and climate strategies; more infrastructure and more immigration. You can listen below — or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and Google Play, where you can also subscribe to get new episodes every Wednesday morning.

Try building the right things. The public appetite for fossil fuel infrastructure is very low. Rightfully so knowing what we know about climate change.

A country that can't build basic infrastructure is useless.

Economy is doing well Big business is not worried
