The Pembina Institute recommends policies that are significant in scale yet evidence-based with a demonstrable track record in creating jobs and generating economic growth in relevant jurisdictions. The Pembina Institute has prepared a set of recommendations for an economic “surge” aimed at stimulating the creation of jobs while helping Canada’s private sector vault into the clean economy, all while meeting our commitment to reduce pollution.
