The largest drags on ER employment growth in 2017 were in transportation and warehousing, finance, insurance, real estate and leasing, education, other services and, to a lesser extent, wholesale and retail trade, professional services, information, culture and recreation, and construction. Within the Medicine Hat CA, there was also a drop in the number of unemployed by 1,500 from 4,200 in 2016 to 2,600 in There was also a corresponding decrease in the unemployment rate dropping from 10.1% to 6.1% during the same time period 2016 population was up 0.6% over 2015 largely on the strength of international in-migration. Net inter-provincial migration slowed and net intra-provincial migration continued to be negative population will be released in mid-february Housing starts are down over 2016 but building permits, a leading indicator of construction activity, up over last year, presenting a mixed bag of results for construction indicators.

6 ANALYSIS DEMOGRAPHICS According to Statistics Canada, Alberta Census Division 1 population (the bulk of which is Medicine Hat) continues to grow, although at a slowing rate. Population increased by 23%, rising from 69,151 on July 1, 2001 to 85,081 on July 1, Census Division 1 population grew by 0.6% between 2015 and population will be released in mid-february Source: Cansim Driving this increase until 2014/2015 was primarily surging in-migration. In 2014/2015 migration slackened dramatically, contributing to slowing overall population growth. 2015/2016 saw negative net inter-provincial migration with only international migration (Immigrants) remaining positive. Components of population growth) 2011/ / / / /2016 Immigrants Emigrants Returning emigrants Net temporary emigration Net interprovincial migration Net intraprovincial migration Net non-permanent residents Source: Cansim Notable among in-migration between 2011and 2016 has been net interprovincial migration, dropping steadily from a high of 543 in 2012/2013 to -122 in 2015/2016. During the same period international immigration surged, growing from 227 to 562 with only little offsetting emigration, averaging 74 persons from 2011/2012 to 2015/2016. International migration was be the largest contributor to population growth since 2011/2012 ahead of natural increase (births less deaths). P5 Economic Report Card, Medicine Hat Q3 2017
7 LABOUR MARKET Note that only total summary monthly and annual labour market indicators are available for the Medicine Hat Census Agglomeration (CA). Monthly industry detail are available only for the Lethbridge-Medicine Hat Economic Region (ER). These are shown as 3 month moving averages and seasonally unadjusted. Key among the labour market indicators is the increase in the total number of people employed in the Medicine Hat CA. Employment growth was positive in 2014 but dropped sharply (8% or 3,400 positions) in This pattern continued but at a slowing rate in 2016 with employment only dropping 300 persons or 0.8%. This trend has reversed itself in 2017 as December 2017 CA year to date employment growing by 1,800 or 4.7% over The drop in oil prices beginning in the second half of 2014 was expected to continue to impact resource employment in However, resource employment rebounded sharply in The largest drags on ER employment growth in 2017 were in transportation and warehousing, finance, insurance, real estate and leasing, education, other services and, to a lesser extent, wholesale and retail trade, professional services, information, culture and recreation, and construction. Despite softness in these industries, ER employment growth was strong in agriculture, resource extraction, health care, and public administration. Source: Cansim Within the Medicine Hat CA, there was also a drop in the number of unemployed by 1,500 from 4,200 in 2016 to 2,600 in There was also a corresponding decrease in the unemployment rate dropping from 10.1% to 6.1% during the same time period. These positive developments should be viewed with caution as the data masks a 2,800 person increase of individuals not in the labour force in Construction Housing starts are available monthly for the Medicine Hat Census Agglomeration (CA). Monthly building permits by type are available for the Lethbridge-Medicine Hat Economic Region (ER). Most categories of housing starts are behind 2016 levels so far in Single starts and apartments are 10.3% (10 units) and 85.7% (24 units) behind 2016 levels, respectively. At the same time, semi-detached starts are 9.1% (2 units) above 2016 and row units are up 28.6% (2 units) over 2016 year to date data. Advances in semi-detached and row statrts were insufficient to offset losses in other categories, driving total starts down 19.5% (30 units) in January to November 2017 versus January to November However, despite weaknesses in total starts, total year-to-date building permits in the ER are up 0.4% over the first 10 months of The increase is relatively wide ranging with residential (+0.8%), industrial (+55.8%), institutional and governmental permits (+22.1%) outstripping 2016 levels. Only commercial permits (-32.9%) posted a decline over the same time period in Invest Medicine Hat P6
8 NAFTA RENEGOTIATION Impact on Provincial and Local Economies - Scenario Analysis The Free Trade Agreement (FTA) was a trade agreement reached by negotiations between Canada and the United States on October 4, 1987 and signed by the leaders of each country on January 2, The agreement removed a wide range of trade restrictions over a ten-year period, and resulted in greatly increased cross-border trade. The purpose of the Free Trade Agreement was to: Eliminate barriers for the trade of goods and services between Canada and the United States Promote fair competition within the free-trade area established by the FTA Greatly improve conditions for investment within the free-trade area Set up effective measures for the shared administration of the FTA and the resolution of disputes Establish further cooperation to expand and enhance the benefits of the Agreement With the addition of Mexico in 1994 the FTA was superseded by NAFTA. NAFTA was signed by Canada, Mexico, and the United States to increase the prosperity of trade in North America. The agreement came into effect on January 1, Under NAFTA, the United States, Canada, and Mexico became an integrated market of around 400 million people with $6.5 trillion worth of goods and services traded annually. P7 Economic Report Card, Medicine Hat Q3 2017
9 Analysis President Donald Trump plans to re-negotiate NAFTA, to what extent he has not said, and if he doesn t believe it s a great deal, favouring the U.S, he would like to terminate the agreement. However, a president does not have the ability to unilaterally terminate or renegotiate NAFTA, which is apparent in article II, Section 2 of the U.S constitution: He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur. As such, the potential for a re-negotiation of NAFTA remains unclear. However, some assumption based analysis can be conducted. One possible scenario, analyzed in this article, would be Alberta s US exports returning to 1988 levels and structure was the final year before implementation of the FTA. In this case, Alberta s US exports in both 1988 and 2016 (last full year of trade data) are deflated to 2014 dollar levels using Statistics Canada s Canadian Industrial Product Price Indexes (Cansim Table ) was chosen as the base year because it is the latest version of the Alberta input-output (IO) accounts, the basis for the provincial economic model, at study initiation. Results of the deflation process are below. Indicator 1988 Alta US Exports (Current $M) 2016 Alta US Exports (Current $M) Difference ($M) Difference in Constant 2014 $M Total merchandise trade 9, , , ,308.8 Live animals and animal products , , ,450.4 Vegetable products Animal or vegetable fats and oils ; prepared edible fats; etc. Prepared foodstuffs; beverages, spirits and vinegar; tobacco Mineral products 6, , , ,148.2 Products of the chemical or allied industries , , ,064.5 Plastics and articles thereof; rubber and articles thereof , , ,109.6 Raw hides and skins, leather, fur skins and articles thereof Wood and articles of wood; , Pulp of wood or of other fibrous cellulosic material; Textiles and Textile Articles Footwear, headgear, etc Articles of stone, plaster, cement, etc Precious or semi-precious stones, precious metals, etc Base metals and articles of base metal Machinery and mechanical appliances; etc , , ,246.4 Vehicles, aircraft, vessels and associated transport equipment.

10 The difference in 2014 constant dollars was aggregated into IO industries and used as a Provincial economic model shock. In short, total Alberta merchandise exports drops by $54,308.8M under a return to pre-fta trade levels and structure. The economic model translates this into a drop into industrial output, GDP, jobs, and wages in the province. Implicit in this approach are a few further assumptions: Service exports are not impacted. All changes in structure and value of exports to the US from 1988 to 2016 are due to the FTA and NAFTA. Imports are not impacted meaning that Alberta businesses and consumers will continue to import at the same volume and price either from the US or other countries. Provincial Impact The impact on Alberta of returning to pre-fta US exports is presented by industry below: Trade with other countries is not impacted.

11 Medicine Hat Impact Applying the same process as the Provincial Model to estimate Medicine Hat impacts is not feasible because detailed international export data by commodity is not available for the Medicine Hat area and the Medicine Hat economic model does not differentiate between international and inter-provincial trade. However, it is possible to use a location quotient to estimate the proportion of the total provincial impact that may accrue to a particular area. Location quotients are typically based on the proportion of the provincial labor force residing in the area of interest. Location quotients were derived for the Medicine Hat CA as the ratio of employment by industry in the Medicine Hat CA to provincial employment by industry. Utilizing this approach yielded the following impacts by industry for the Medicine Hat region from returning to a pre-fta US export regime. Total Impacts ($M) Medicine Hat CA Returning to pre-fta US exports Gross Output 2016 Alta US Exports (Current $M) Difference ($M) Difference in Constant 2014 $M Impact Basic Prices Impact Employment Impact (Positions) Labour Income Impact Mining and Oil and Gas Extraction Utilities Construction Manufacturing Wholesale Trade Retail Trade Transportation and Warehousing Information and Cultural Industries Finance, Insurance, Real Estate and Rental and Leasing Professional, Scientific and Technical Services Administrative and Support, Waste Management and Remediation Services Educational Services Health Care and Social Assistance Arts, Entertainment and Recreation Accommodation and Food Services Other Services (Except Public Administration) Operating, Office, Cafeteria and Laboratory Supplies Travel, Entertainment, Advertising and Promotion Transportation Margins Non-Profit Institutions Serving Households Government Sector Total -1, , Invest Medicine Hat P10
12 In short, provincial GDP could decline by as much as $50.8 billion dollars, roughly 13.5% of current GDP of $376B. In addition employment could also drop by almost 200,000 jobs, roughly 8.7% of current employment of around 2.3 million persons. Total impacts are the sum of direct, indirect and induced impacts. Direct impacts represent the initial shock of a decline in merchandize exports of $54.6B. Indirect impacts are the secondary impact that includes inter-industry transactions or the purchases of inputs from supporting industries. Induced impacts are the spending impacts of the additional income earned by employees of the direct and indirectly impacted sectors. GDP is the measure of net economic activity within a prescribed geographic area. It represents the payments made to final factors of production: labour, unincorporated business profits, and other operating surplus and excludes the value of intermediate goods and services used in production. GDP is the appropriate measure of the size of and economy. Returning to pre-fta US exports could result in a loss of 3,400 jobs, 8.6% of total Medicine Hat employment, and $890M in GDP, approximately 13.5% of regional GDP. Agriculture, mining and oil, manufacturing, finance, retail trade, and accommodation and food services are particularly impacted. Implications for Business While returning to a pre-fta US trade pattern represents an extreme case in a renegotiation of NAFTA, if a renegotiation is even possible, the results of the scenario analysis demonstrates the importance of international trade, particularly with the US to the provincial and local economies. Exporting businesses must continue to diversify into other export markets. Although the future of trade with the US contains many unknowns, it is clear that over-reliance on this single export market is not necessarily a sound strategy.
