Ep 555 - Decluttering Regulations in Canada

Guest: Krystal Wittevrongel

By Stuart McNish

Vowing to get Canada moving again is one of prime minister Mark Carney’s promises – a promise he reiterated while introducing his new cabinet. As the economy has taken a jolt from the shifting relationship with the United States, politicians across the country have turned their attention to improving the regulatory environment.

Krystal Wittevrongel of the Montreal Economic Institute points out that “reducing regulation was stated as a priority in 2018. Unfortunately, that government failed to make it a priority and businesses have suffered as a result.” Recognition of the negative impact is only the first step, says Wittevrongel. “It’s much less clear how and when the government will actually address the complex issues that are clogging trade in Canada.”

We invited Krystal Wittevrongel to join us for a Conversation That Matters about unclogging the gears of regulation that have bogged down trade in Canada.
