Abstract
We assess Canada's labour market policy mix in order to determine whether the inclusive growth and innovation agenda indicates that technological change has triggered a policy paradigm shift. Our analysis of four policy areas concerning labour market access indicates no paradigm shift has occurred. Instead, the agenda is an example of policy resistance: first- and second-order policy changes (changes to policy settings) maintain the status quo of labour market arrangements. The result is a revised set of supply-side policies unlikely to reorganize the labour market. Technological disruption and the COVID-19 pandemic offer opportunities to reorganize Canada's labour market policies' current policy mix, but, even under the banner of inclusive innovation, this shift is unlikely to happen.
