- Unleashing a North American Tiger: Canada-U.S. Economic Integration and the Implications for Business.
Creating an environment that unleashes private sector innovation and entrepreneurship, and creates a winning edge for business, must be a priority for the Canadian, Mexican and U.S. governments. Increasingly, citizens of North America operate in a shared economic space and pursue common interests. Global competition for capital, labour and other productive resources is intense, and governments must increase cooperation to ensure the winning conditions exist in North America. Homeland security, energy, and disease control are obvious examples. However, labour mobility, capital market integration, tariff reduction, and regulation of goods and services are examples where decisive action is needed to improve the performance of the North American economy to unleash the “North American Tiger.”
