The federal government will establish a working group to examine low economic productivity and a stagnating standard of living, Treasury Board President Anita Anand has announced.
Anand said she was immediately striking the working group, but details were scarce on its composition, timetables, and objectives. The working group will have the expertise to evaluate productivity issues in the private and public sectors and have representatives from across the country, she said Aug. 27, speaking from the margins of the Liberal cabinet retreat in Halifax. Unions will also be engaged.
