I remember reading an article somewhere which indicated total factor productivity declining because huge amounts of capital have been put into the resource industry and there is a lag in the increase in output (or many years in some cases)
Also with high commodity prices it may make economic sense to invest a lot of capital for less return (i.e less volume of production) so the overall measured productivity goes down when prices are high
