Canada's «Achilles heel» is the country's
lagging labour productivity, and while governments can help turn that around, it's ultimately up to the private sector to boost it, Scotiabank CEO Brian Porter said Tuesday.

productivity in this sector is
lagging the US due to underinvestment and shortages of skilled people, but attracting a skilled
labour force plays into our strengths.
