We do it quickly and efficiently, working with the best partners in the business. Beyond this important work, we are also assisting developing countries to grow their economies. In doing so, we connect the Canadian economy to some of the world's fastest growing markets. The private sector in Canada is an untapped pool of human, technical and financial resources. By leveraging these assets in our development work, we can pave the way for relationships based on mutual prosperity. International Cooperation Minister Julian Fantino will speak about the role of the private sector in solving development challenges and building tomorrow’s markets for Canadian trade and investment.

  Chief Executive Officer ,

Today, through its ongoing commitment to openness and transparency, it is an organization trusted by Canadians. Through its successful transformation and stewardship of the blood system, and more recently, through its leadership in the design of a national system for organ and tissue donation and transplantation in Canada, including the launch of national patient registries, Canadian Blood Services is a model for the delivery of effective, integrated and consistent patient care across Canada. At a time when collaborative solutions are being sought throughout the health system, it has shown that provincial boundaries need not be barriers to meaningful progress in improving health care delivery – innovative, integrated, pan-Canadian approaches and solutions are not only desirable, but truly possible.

Wilson will share his journey - including many personal mistakes (leading to divorce, absentee parenting, and cancer at age 42) - and what caused him to wake up and radically alter his own definition of success and related set of priorities. *Books will be available for $32.00 for purchase at the event*
