One of the main challenges, analysts say, is that many of the promised solutions to some of the country’s most pressing issues — Canada-U.S. trade, diversifying exports, low productivity, inter-provincial free trade, housing, and infrastructure — require long-term fixes. Reshaping the economic landscape to attract more investment and to find new markets for Canadian exports, for example, convincing developers, provinces and municipalities to take the steps needed to put up more houses, and building or renovating ports, rail and airports are all long-term issues that will take many years to fix.
