« Construire, bébé, construire » : Repenser le pilier du Canada.
Le Canada s'est longtemps appuyé sur un modèle économique Nord-Sud dominé par le commerce avec les États-Unis - mais que se passe-t-il lorsque cette fondation risque de se fissurer ? Dans cet épisode, nous allons au-delà du mantra Est-Ouest pour explorer ce à quoi cela pourrait ressembler en termes pratiques et ce qu'il faudra faire pour y parvenir. La question n'est pas de savoir si le Canada peut devenir plus autosuffisant, mais comment.
Avec des invités Christine Healy, présidente et cheffe de la direction, Northland Power et Andrew Botterill, leader, Stratégie, Gestion des risques et Opérations, Énergie, ressources et produits industriels, Deloitte Canada
