“”

Despite concern of a recession, Ontario managed to pump out growth of 2.1% last year. The manufacturing sector remained in contraction mode as output declined for a third consecutive year. The role of manufacturing in the economy continued to fall as well. In 2002, manufacturing accounted for 22% of Ontario’s GDP compared to 18% in 2007.
