The Coalition, a public policy organization founded in August 2021, represents 142 like-minded organizations from the private and not-for-profit sectors that recognize the need for an ambitious long-term economic plan to ensure a better future for all Canadians. It offers a policy solution through its Scorecard of 21 metrics to build the kind of economy Canada deserves to ensure our collective prosperity in the future.
