Territorial infrastructure bank among solutions suggested
A new report from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce says a more robust private sector in the North would make for a stronger region and a more globally competitive Canada.
Susanna Cluff-Clyburne, the chamber’s director of parliamentary affairs and the author of the report, says there are ways to shift the balance between the private and public sectors.
Those options include low-interest government-backed loans, restored mine training funding, and bringing an end to the federal practice of clawing back funding for aboriginal businesses whenever they make a profit
