This paper examines economic developments and policies in Canada during 1990–95. Spurred by the robust growth in the United States and the easing of monetary conditions between 1991 and 1993, economic growth in Canada continued to strengthen during 1994. Real GDP grew by 4.5 percent in 1994 after growing by 2.2 percent in 1993 and 0.6 percent in 1992. Economic growth in 1994 was led by exports and investment in machinery and equipment. However, growth was more broadly based in 1994; private consumption strengthened, and there was a rebound in residential and nonresidential construction.
This document presents a new national economic plan to update priorities, set core policy directions, and guide future budget decisions. It proposes action on four fronts: creating opportunities for all Canadians, with a focus on early learning, post-secondary education, skilled work, inclusiveness for labour force participation, and closing the gap for Aboriginal peoples; advancing an innovative economy, including action in the areas of university-based research, private sector research & development and technology adoption, and commercialization of new technologies; positioning Canada at the centre of global commerce & networks, focussing on supporting open markets, foreign direct investment, global business networks, and world-class transportation & communication gateways; and building the right investment environment via maintaining Canada's fiscal advantage, improving tax system competitiveness, promoting efficient regulations & financial markets, improving government productivity, and promoting energy efficiency & environmental sustainability.
