This report on the social and economic health of Canada looks ahead to 2010 to see where Canada will be if its current economic and social policies continue.

Document Highlights

Performance and Potential is an annual report on Canada’s economic and social policies and is the flagship publication of The Conference Board of Canada. This year’s report, the seventh in a series, breaks new ground in three ways. We

• broaden and deepen our benchmarking of Canada’s performance;
• construct a scenario of Canada in 2010, based on major trends; and
• assess Canada’s changing role in the world.

We also:

• analyze the structural causes of the long-term decline in our currency;
• build the case for significant investment and improvement in our human resource development practices; and
• provide suggestions of policy priorities to improve the outlook for Canada in 2010.

Anyone wanting to understand Canada’s position in the world can read this single document to comprehend the challenges and future choices the country faces.

Performance and Potential 2002- 2003 is also available in two other formats:
