Chief minister says population and number of jobs are growing
The chief minister insists there is evidence government's strategy to grow the Island's economy is proving to be a success.
Plans to grow the population, create new jobs and invest in infrastructure were published in July last year.
The Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce says government red tape is currently hindering business growth on the Island.
Mr Cannan says government figures show there has been some success so far:

'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
