Growth should help each person get ahead.

Read the total and the share per person.

More people can help a place grow. But a rise in total GDP does not tell us how much output grew for each person. We divide the real total by the same place’s July 1 population.

GDP counts production, not what each household can spend. A place can rank high because it has large mines or oil fields. That does not prove its renters, workers or small firms are doing well.

Give people more ways to make a good life.

Allow more homes and shops near jobs. Let workers use their skills across provincial borders. Let new firms find space, power and fair access to finance.

These are our policy asks. The chart does not prove how much each change would add to GDP. Each case needs its own evidence and a clear test of results.

Show who gains and who pays.

Track pay after price changes, rent and purchase costs, travel time and access to services. Break out results by age and income where sound data exists.

A plan that raises output but leaves many people worse off needs more work. Growth and a good life should be tested together.

What we want changed

1. Clear paths to work and homes

   Remove rules that block useful homes, firms and the movement of skills.

2. Publish results per person

   Report real output, pay and living costs beside total growth.

3. Count the full cost

   Show the cost of each change and who shares its gains.

Who can act

Provincial and territorial governments, local councils and federal trade and housing offices.

What this could cost the public

Price each reform on its own. No national cost or savings total is claimed.
