What happened
The Atlantic Economic Panel, composed of seven executives and entrepreneurs, released a report urging that Atlantic Canada leverage its resources as a unified 'single economy' to become more prosperous by 2035. The panel chairman, Don Mills, who is president of the investment firm Crane Cove Holdings Ltd., stated that the region's economy has long lagged behind the rest of Canada. The panel found that the region is currently struggling with low productivity, labor shortages, complex regulations, and trade barriers that impede business agility.

Why it matters
The report argues that Atlantic Canada's gross domestic product growth has underperformed the national GDP by one per cent a year for three decades. The recommendations aim to boost the region's economic output above the national average, but successful transformation requires action from provincial governments, businesses, and residents.
