Conference Board Document
Performance and Potential 2003?04
Key Findings by The Conference Board of Canada , October 2003
This report summarizes the key findings of Performance and Potential
2003?04, which benchmarks Canada's performance against the best countries
in the world and examines pressing policy issues.
Document Highlights:
Performance and Potential is The Conference Board of Canada's flagship
publication. First published in 1996, its intent is to identify pressing
issues that need to be addressed in order to maintain and improve
Canadians' high quality of life. This year, we "define the Canadian
advantage," the strengths that distinguish us as a competitive global
player as we analyze our past year's performance and assess our potential.
First, we benchmark Canada against the best countries in the world. This
year's analysis finds that our strength lies in the Economy, and our
weakness in the Environment categories.
We then examine urgent policy issues, such as the Canada?U.S. income gap,
our ageing population and the pressures it will place on the health care
system, our foreign policy, and fiscal capacity to the year 2015 in an
effort to help policy makers make tough but wise choices about areas of
focus and priorities for public spending.
