Alberta Senator Black calls for post-pandemic economic recovery council
A senator from Alberta is calling on the Prime Minister to form a new council to look at the future of Canada’s economy after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Senator Doug Black says the mandate of the Canadian Economic Recovery Council he is asking Justin Trudeau to create would be simple.
“Come up with a plan to ensure that our economy gets on its feet as soon as possible,” he explains.
Black cites previous federal councils for NAFTA negotiations, as well as Alberta’s own Economic Recovery Council, as examples of why it would be beneficial for Ottawa to create the new one he is suggesting.
