OECD e-PUB editions - BETA VERSION

Congratulations and thank-you for downloading one of our brand-new ePub-in-beta editions.

We're experimenting with this new format and, while ePub is fantastic for books with linear text, for books with charts, tables and graphs weve found some things may not work perfectly it depends on the device youre using.

So, for an optimal reading experience, we recommend:

• Using the latest version of your devices operating system.
• Reading in portrait mode.
• If large tables are tricky to read, try reducing the text size.

As this is an ePub-in-beta edition, we would be glad to receive feedback on your reading experience, good or otherwise, so we can improve for the future. When writing, please let us know which device/operating system you were using and the title of the publication. Write to:

Thank you!

This Survey is published on the responsibility of the Economic and Development Review Committee (EDRC) of the OECD, which is charged with the examination of the economic situation of member countries.

The economic situation and policies of Canada were reviewed by the Committee on 9 May 2016. The draft report was then revised in the light of the discussions and given final approval as the agreed report of the whole Committee on 27 May 2016.

The Secretariats draft report was prepared for the Committee by David Carey and Corinne Luu, who benefitted from technical background papers prepared by John Lester and Mark Ronayne, under the supervision of Peter Jarrett. Research assistance was provided by Isabelle Luong and secretarial assistance by Dacil Kurzweg.

The previous Survey of Canada was issued in June 2014.
