Regulatory red tape and costs remain unresolved, Eric Lombardi notes
Regulatory barriers and infrastructure costs rise

Eric Lombardi criticizes the persistent rise of regulatory barriers in the economy, noting that after 8 years there is more red tape than ever.

He points to unresolved issues in land use, permitting, and regulatory capture, as well as escalating infrastructure costs. Lombardi questions the lack of an effective plan to address these ongoing economic challenges.

Lombardi recently reported an 11 percent increase in Canada's trade with non-U.S. countries for 2025, alongside strong job growth. He has also flagged missed opportunities for Canadian investors in the Toronto-Waterloo tech sector. The latest comments follow a series of posts addressing structural and regulatory concerns.
