The Canadian government, regardless of the political party in power, tries to make Canada an attractive destination for global investment. The government aims to lower federal debt and eliminate budget deficits. Budget policies and controlled inflation help to sustain economic improvement. Governments institute tax reform policies to promote consumer spending and economic growth.

A move to provide public services by public-private partnership rather than by government alone supports the belief that this will improve the service. Freedom from political control can benefit an economy. Government businesses are challenged by the watchful public eye on their contracts, partnership management, negotiation skills, and strategic leadership. In 2016, government businesses had more than 36 million bosses.

Restructuring Canadian companies can boost economic confidence and improve productivity. Continued growth in fixed investments such as factories and equipment is critical to sustained growth.
