Roundtable for Parliamentarians
“Chaos and Canada’s Future: Is there Hope for Growth?” with Mr. Peter Hall, CEO – Econosphere, Inc.
Chaos is so common that if suddenly there was calm, it would be equally shocking. In such a time, is there hope for our future, will there be growth, and is forecasting even possible? Join other parliamentarians to hear key thoughts on this from a seasoned Canadian economic forecaster Mr. Peter Hall. The presentation will be followed by Q&A.
