Media Commentary

Media inquiries, interviews, and commentary

The Productivity Project provides research-informed commentary on productivity, human capital, learning, work, skills, and Canada’s economic future. We welcome inquiries from journalists, editors, producers, podcast hosts, and media organizations seeking expert perspectives, background briefings, interviews, or data-informed analysis.

Our work focuses on how Canada can better develop, recognize, and mobilize human capability to strengthen productivity, opportunity, and long-term prosperity.
