  May 30, 2011, 11:45 am
  The InterContinental Hotel,
  Toronto

  Guy Giorno
  National Campaign Chair,
  Conservative Party

  Canada's 2011 federal election campaign has realigned the political landscape and sent pundits scrambling to rework their assumptions. From the Prime Minister's achievement of a stable, national majority, to the emergence of the NDP as the only national opposition, to humbling of the once-mighty Liberals, to the disappearance of the sovereignists as a recognized parliamentary party, the results are transformational. Guy Giorno, National Campaign Chair of the Conservative Party, will offer reflections on this historic campaign: what worked, what didn't, and why Stephen Harper is now poised to become one of Canada's longest-serving Prime Ministers.

  Know Your Power: Canada’s Electricity System in Transition

  May 12, 2011, 11:45 am
  The Sutton Place Hotel, Stop 33,
  Toronto

  Pierre Guimond
  President and CEO ,
  Canadian Electricity Association

  Electricity is essential to our lives - our homes, businesses and industries depend on it. The electricity grid that serves us so well was built for a population of about 20 million. But today it is servicing around 35 million. Canada must now make some decisions about how to improve the existing electricity grid. The desire to address the effects of climate change, and meeting the needs of a changing economy, are driving much of the conversation about our electricity future. Pierre Guimond will discuss how the electricity sector is being limited by a lack of infrastructure investment at a time when it is being asked to take on a greater mandate, and how Ontario's plans for meeting future electricity needs can be an investment for future generations.

  When we hear a prominent author and consultant predict that 70% of the Canadian retail landscape will be foreign-controlled by 2015, up from about 50% foreign-controlled today, we find ourselves asking the question: can Canadian business compete in a globalized world? Also, are all Canadian corporations destined to be acquired by foreigners?

  RECLAIMING OUR NATIONAL DREAM: HOW BUSINESS LEADERSHIP CAN SAVE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE

  April 19, 2011, 7:45 am
  The InterContinental Hotel,
  Toronto

  Dianne Carmichael
  President,
  Best Doctors Canada Inc.

  In her speech to the Economic Club, Ms. Carmichael will argue that ideology, protectionism, and inaction in our health care system will – paradoxically – create the very two-tier system that many fear. Ms. Carmichael is on the forefront of a movement to protect and strengthen Canadian health care at a time when many believe it is in the throes of an existential crisis. Drawing on lessons learned from a career as a senior executive in the financial industry and the head of a highly successful medical advisory service, she believes business thinking is the key to building a new and sustainable model that puts patients first. Ms. Carmichael will address the need to move beyond the public-private debate, a greater focus on innovation and the transformative role of technology and the use of complementary service models. “We have to be open to exploring all of the options if we are to re-establish Canada as the home of the best health care system in the world.”

  Over the past 18 months, Europe has been engulfed by a sovereign debt crisis, which has dominated not just the European economic and political agenda, but also posed the threat of re-kindling the global financial crisis. European leaders and policy makers started slow with their crisis management, but now appear to have caught up. They have embraced a comprehensive reform program, which is meant to strengthen both the crisis management capacity and economic governance of the EU.
