- 65. Why does innovationmatter? “Innovation is essential to a high-performing economy. Overall, countries that are more innovative are passing Canada on measures such as income per capita, productivity, and the quality of social programs. It is also critical to environmental protection, a high-performing education system, a well-functioning system of health promotion and health care, and an inclusive society. Without innovation, all these systems stagnate and Canada’s performance deteriorates relative to that of its peers.” – CBOC • These critical systems are at the heart of our broader definition of economic and community progress – and why the Halifax Index was developed.
