Media Advisory - Inequality and Poverty Jeopardizing Canada's Economic Future, Report Will Show

OTTAWA, Feb. 23, 2012 /CNW/ - On February 24th, 2012, the Action Canada Task Force on Inequality, Poverty, and the Knowledge-Based Economy will unveil their report "Prospering Together" at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier in Ottawa, ON.

The report explains why 60% of Canadians have seen their real income stagnate over the last thirty-three years, despite a government-backed focus on innovation aimed at expanding the economy and increasing the standard of living for Canadians. Find out why Canada's direction is exactly the opposite of what it will take to become a leader in the knowledge-based economy.

Action Canada is Canada's leading public policy fellowship. Fellows are chosen from all sectors, including business, science, government, academia and the professions.

The report launch will be hosted on:

Date: Friday, Feb. 24, 2012
Time: 9:30 am - 10:45 am
Location: Quebec Suite, Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, ON
RSVP: [email protected]
