Minister Fortier discusses the importance of quality of life and well-being of Canadians in Surrey
In the context of a tour dedicated to listening to Canadians on what quality of life means to them, the Minister participated in a roundtable with stakeholders in Surrey to hear from them on what quality of life and well-being mean to them, and to understand the key issues facing their communities. The Minister also highlighted the need to look at a broader range of evidence than standard economic statistics, such as gross domestic product (GDP), to assess progress in people’s quality of life and establish policy priorities.
