– macleans.ca
REUTERS/Mathieu BelangerIt’s been a little more than a month since the Liberal government of Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard released its belt-tightening budget, and since then everyone from movie producers and doctors to teachers and mayors has griped about the cuts it promises. They shouldn’t be surprised. Couillard campaigned on a pledge to fix Quebec’s “economic fiasco.” But a new report from the C.D. Howe Institute offers a stark reminder of how difficult that task will be.
The report, authored by Philip Cross, the former chief economist at Statistics Canada, shows the extent to which the economies of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes now rely on public sector versus private sector investment for growth.

Burberry shareholders revolt over pay package for luxury house’s new CEO Christopher Bailey
– canadianbusiness.com
LONDON – Shareholders of luxury British fashion house Burberry have voted to reject a multimillion-pound pay package for the brand’s new chief.
Results of voting at Burberry’s annual general meeting Friday showed that 52.7 per cent of shareholders protested the earnings Christopher Bailey is expected to receive.
Bailey was appointed chief executive in May on top of being the brand’s chief designer. He received a one-time award of 500,000 shares worth some 7 million pounds ($12 million) last year and also receives 1.1 million pounds ($1.9 million) in salary, bonuses up to twice the salary and cash allowances.
Friday’s vote was non-binding but it was a rare revolt by shareholders over executive salaries. Chairman John Peace said he was disappointed and he would talk to investors to try to address their concerns.
