    Canada's Competitiveness: The Importance of Investing in Skills

    Remarks David Dodge Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning Toronto, Ontario
    Productivity plays a critical role when it comes to our national standard of living. Productivity growth is the main element that contributes to continued improvements in real incomes and overall prosperity. Rising productivity lets businesses pay higher wages, while keeping costs down, employment high, and profits coming in. That's why economists like me spend a lot of time thinking about ways to improve the productivity of our economy.
