Future Workforce of Peel
1. Mississauga and Brampton have similar sized cohort of
15-29 year olds to other Canadian cities.
2. Start-ups founded by youth – no big demographic
advantage for the region.
3. Canada lacking in ability to create and maintain mid-
sized firms (BDC report)

baseline skills.

Recommendations

Peel as Export Hub
37
Growth in goods exports coming from India and China
and other developing markets – less so US. Peel well
positioned to access these markets given current
transportation infrastructure.
Deep cultural ties to growing markets, important for
establishing trade relationships.
Airport as a comparative advantage – take care with
transportation infrastructure
![Page 39: Economic Challenges and Opportunities for Southwest Ontario … · 2015-03-13 · Opportunities for Southwest Ontario and the GTA . Overview 1 This presentation will look at: 1.

Focus on Strategic Sustainable Infrastructure
38
Growing consensus on importance of infrastructure investments
for economic growth
Adequate infrastructure increases productivity by reducing
business costs.
Infrastructure investment has spinoff benefits (e.g., innovation,
growth in private sector expertise)
Infrastructure renewal must combine hard and soft
Not just more, but respond to emerging trends:
Economic trends (broadband, internet of things)
Transportation approaches (transit, new technologies)
Demographic needs (urbanization, aging population)
Environmental pressures (climate change, resource stress)

Other Recommendations
39
Continue to encourage better data collection.
Don’t count on a return of manufacturing as it was pre-
2008
Focus on broadband
Diversity of population is a huge benefit
Skilled labour shortages and needs of business must
be considered, including shortcomings inherent to post-
secondary education system and the skills being
acquired
Beware of growing number of precarious workers
without employer-based benefits
Consider a focus on community wealth building
Do not sacrifice your competitive advantages in sectors
likely to produce high growth in the future

Five possible pieces of a federal economic agenda
40
1. Repair our relationship with NAFTA partners.
2. Reduce red tape for Canadian exporters.
3. Address gridlock in GTA and streamline border-
crossings.
4. Ensure all companies can access high-speed
broadband, so as not to fall behind US competitors.
5. Expand regional airports and increase transportation
links to Pearson.
