Opening Statement before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance

While global economic growth is expected to be a little higher than previously anticipated, a weaker near-term outlook for the U.S. economy has curbed the near-term prospects for Canadian exports and growth.

Efficiency refers to the allocation of scarce economic resources to the most productive uses, in a cost-effective way.
