Canada’s territories have much to contribute to the nation’s wealth, and the federal government should implement policies to help territories become more financially independent and allow them to perform to their potential, says a report by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
Canada’s territories “punch above their weight economically,” the report says.
The three territories—Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut—cover around 40 percent of Canada’s land mass with just over three percent of the population.
