In Nova Scotia, we are striving to be more globally competitive and innovative to build a strong business climate and achieve economic performance at or above the Canadian average by the year 2020. This progress report demonstrates important investments in Nova Scotia's financial, built, natural, human, and social capitals, and in three other focus areas. Some of these initiatives are complete, while others continue to be works in progress. The government of Nova Scotia continues to help communities hard hit by the economic downturn and support businesses to maintain and grow employment levels, adopt sustainable practices, diversify, and overcome barriers. The province will weather the global economic recession with its highly skilled workforce, its rich resources and confidence that we on the right course to ensure a vibrant economy. Nova Scotia's economic growth strategy is working in combination with the social policy framework called Weaving the Threads, and the Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act, to provide a strong framework for our long-term vision of sustainable prosperity. Sustainable prosperity means seizing today's opportunities without compromising tomorrow. It means working together for a strong and competitive economy, a healthy environment, and vibrant, thriving communities. English:
