This presentation will provide a high-level overview of Canada’s economic outlook, with a focus on ongoing Canada-U.S. trade tensions and broader global uncertainty. As economic conditions remain volatile, these developments are having a tangible impact on Canada’s labour market. I will examine how instability is shaping trends in employment, hiring, and wages. The talk will outline key risks and pressures facing different sectors and regions across the country. The aim is to offer an economic backdrop that helps attendees better understand the context in which today’s workplace decisions are being made.
