Canada's 2011 census revealed Ontario's lowest population growth rate since 1986. The first part of the 2016 census suggests the province's growth is still slowing, but experts say that will all change in the coming years.
Thanks to Ontario's low unemployment rate, lower than the national rate, the province may see a population rise soon.
Ivey Assistant Professor Mike Moffatt spoke to the Canadian Press about Canada's census, Ontario's real GDP, and the province's manufacturing sector.
"I think overall, Ontario's economy has been about the strongest in Canada the last couple of years," said Moffatt. "Manufacturing is bouncing back a little bit — not as much as perhaps we'd like, but we're not seeing those manufacturing job losses that we saw a few years ago."
