We are always looking for ideas that will unlock pathways to wealth and economic security for working people.

We monitor what other countries are doing to see what is having the most impact. We look at what provincial, territorial and municipal governments are doing that can be scaled.

We focus on the issues where we can have the most impact, and where our leadership or support will be the most valuable.

If there is something we should explore further, please let us know.
