First of all, it is probably not a concern. The Canadian birth rate with imigration into Canada is high enough that there is not going to be a population decline. A population decline would mean that there are fewer active workers to pay for the social services of an aging population and infrastucture. On the other hand, seeing how Canada and the rest of the world has limited resources and space a slow down, halt, or decline of population growth might be better in the long run.
Why this happening in Canada along with the rest of the industrialized world is because contraceptive technology has become cheap and accepted. Women are choosing to forgo children to pursue careers and other personal interests.
The only sure way to fix population problems on a national level is increasing immigration. Tax credits and other incentives have not been very successful in increasing birth rates in other countries.

Almost every industrial nation has a low birth rate. Even the U.S. requires massive immigration to boost their population.
There are many reasons. More alternatives, less time (people that work hard want their sleep), and cost of the children (in the U.S. each child costs about as much as a house).
If Canada was so interested in increasing its population, they would be getting immigrants from India. India has 1 billion people and most speak English and already went to school. They could get about 100 million Indians and Canada would be permently set.

Because the Canada is a developed country and the cost of bring up a baby is so expensive.
I think the government can provide more welfare to some professional people(like me) and attract them to live in Canada.Then it can provide the high production to Canada.
