Canadian Business looked at where each political party stands concerning job creation as they campaign in a weakened economy.

Assistant Professor Mike Moffatt provided his expert opinion on how political parties should tackle a sputtering economy during the election campaign.

“The federal government has almost no control over day-to-day economic fluctuations, but it can create the conditions for economic growth,” said Moffatt. “Parties will need to explain how they will create broad-based economic growth, given the challenges brought by automation, globalization and an aging population.”
