It is time to rethink and reimagine what we are capable of achieving as a country.
It is time to raise our sights – to embrace an ambitious and transformative vision for inclusive, sustainable economic prosperity and opportunity for all.
Our mission is to ensure that everyone is at the table to determine a prosperous future for Canada. We also want to make sure all levels of government are enacting policies that help Canadians live better and win globally while making sustainable growth a top priority.

MISSION
To strengthen the economic foundations of Canadian society and create the wealth necessary to fund and enhance the social programs and public services on which Canadians depend.
Who we are
The Coalition for a Better Future is a diverse group of Canadian leaders and organizations – across business, labour and civil society – working together to achieve a more inclusive, sustainable and prosperous Canada.
Each of us brings to the table a unique perspective, but we are united in our belief that economic growth is necessary for the kind of Canada we want. We need a stronger economy to produce rising incomes, afford social programs, and finance Canada’s transition to a cleaner environment.
