"Private-sector economists reacted lukewarmly to the Liberal plan, saying much of it appears to be either open-ended proposals to consult or activities that would take place anyway - such as Ottawa's meeting with private-sector economists each fall and the annual economic update that normally occurs in October or November."

""It's not wrongheaded, but it's a proposal to launch a committee, which is fine - but it's a bit of a stretch to describe it as an action plan," said Finn Poschmann, research director at the C.D. Howe Institute."
