This May 2020 report, prepared for Resource Works by Karen Graham of KMG Strategy, argues that Canadian decision-makers should take the opportunity of this enforced pause to consider appropriate public policy to strengthen Canada\u2019s advantages while repairing the structural impediments that have held back the country\u2019s progress in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rebuild phase offers the opportunity to strengthen Canada\u2019s advantages, including ways to unleash the potential of Canada\u2019s critical resource sectors \u2013 including energy, mining, forestry and agriculture \u2013 and the infrastructure and mechanisms needed to get them to internal and external markets. Establishing this \u201cNext Normal\u201d requires a Team Canada approach where many actors in policy development work together more intensely than in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Under two broad categories \u2013 People and Endeavour \u2013 Resource Works brings forward a set of proposals predicated on a moderate, reasoned pathway forward to unleash a critical group of sectors to support the national recovery effort. We recommend a national advisory panel be convened by the Prime Minister that brings together a wide range of stakeholders (including provincial and territorial government recovery initiatives) to share the herculean work that lies ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resource Works\u2019 prescription for advancing a constructive Canada in founding the Next Normal calls for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Investments in people, as it will be Canadians\u2019 initiative, skills and hard work that unleash the recovery and lay the foundation for the Next Normal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Bold thinking and exploration of previously unimagined linkages between otherwise unrelated sectors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Accelerated application of new technologies across industries and supply chains, including Canada\u2019s primary resource sectors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Clearly established relationships and solid partnerships among Indig\"\"enous groups, governments and resource firms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Efficient legal and regulatory processes that aid, not hinder, a turbo-charged recovery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Environmental performance that meets or exceeds today\u2019s stringent environmental standards and accompanies a transition across the energy product mix.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
