In partnership with the Ontario Economic Summit, Bloomberg Link hosted their Canada Economic Summit in Toronto on May 8th.
The Canada Summit brought together government officials and industry titans to examine Canada’s role as a major destination for investment and a supplier of capital around the world. It offered valuable insights into emerging trends in the global economy and provided participants with the ability to interact with key decision-makers.
Key speakers included former Prime Minister Paul Martin and Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty as well as a vast array of business leaders from across the country including Manulife Financial President and CEO Donald A. Guloien, Teck Resources Ltd. President and CEO Donald Lindsay and RBC President and CEO Gordon Nixon.
Two key themes of the day were Canada’s strong currency and the sustainability of the housing market. There was also consensus amongst participants that while Canada must continue to monitor the European economic situation, its impact on the Canadian economy may not be as detrimental as people might expect.
The Ontario Economic Summit, an initiative of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, was pleased to partner with Bloomberg Link to bring the Canada Summit to Ontario as part of the OES mandate to engage leaders in communities across the province in order to build a prosperous and highly competitive economy.
