Canada’s prosperity relies on global stability, the rules-based multilateral trading system, cooperation among like-minded partners and respect for sovereign states.
Canada is blessed with an abundance of natural resources, which are the source of much of the country’s prosperity. Canadian energy producers and mining companies are key enablers of the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Sound fiscal policy, investments to enhance growth and productivity, and competitive tax rates are fundamental to success in the global economy.
To succeed in today’s global economy, Canada needs a strategy that brings ideas to life and enhances the country’s competitive advantages.
An aging population and increased global competition for talent requires that Canada work harder to attract, retain and develop its human capital. Employers have a responsibility to contribute to this effort by ensuring healthy, diverse and inclusive workplaces.
In an episode of RBC’s Disruptors podcast hosted by John Stackhouse, Dax Dasilva explains how his company was built upon the importance of diversity and inclusion and how that informs the work Lightspeed POS employees perform everyday.
“If you create diversity in your leadership team and in your board, you set a standard that people throughout the company try to work towards.”
