Real dialogue needed about the fallout of the petro-boom
Federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair’s claim that the Canadian manufacturing sector has been adversely affected by fallout from the Alberta petro-boom — through a mechanism known to economists as Dutch disease — set off a firestorm of strident attacks from Conservative politicians, Western premiers, and the media commentariat.
Mulcair raises a legitimate and empirically defensible — albeit sensitive — public policy issue, which should rightly spur a vigorous policy debate, not continued over-the-top-outbursts.
Dutch disease occurs when a resource boom causes a country’s real exchange rate to rise to the point where other traded products, notably manufactured ones, become too expensive to export, leading to the decline of those sectors.
