Vaccines will not only save lives, but are also the key to ignite our economic recovery. The Honourable Perrin Beatty, president and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and former cabinet minister, discusses how a rocky vaccine roll out and unpredictable policy-making is hurting the Canadian economy. We take a critical look at Canada’s failure to instate a national pandemic strategy from the beginning of the crisis and how inconsistent provincial re-openings and lockdowns are impacting small businesses. Hon. Perrin Beatty asks: When we reach a new normal, will Canada roll over and go back to sleep, or will this pandemic be a wake up call to better strategize for future crisis recovery?
