St John's, Antigua and Barbuda – November 05, 2026 -- Canada could add C$100.85 billion to GDP over the next decade from AI under a moderate IMF-based scenario, but weak education and training provision may limit those gains, according to the inaugural Ayre Index from the Ayre Think Tank.
The Index ranked Canada fifth among 56 Commonwealth countries with an overall score of 70.2 out of 100. Singapore, Malta, Australia and the United Kingdom placed ahead. The findings were released during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Antigua and Barbuda, attended by King Charles III and Prime Minister Mark Carney.
