Directors Talk: Canada's Economic Security Imperative

Authors: Jodi Butts, Manijeh Colabella (Watson Board Advisors), John Boscariol, Martha Harrison and Robert J. Richardson (McCarthy Tétrault)

Over the past nine months, McCarthy Tétrault and Watson Board Advisors have co-hosted a series of small group dinners in several major cities across Canada to meet with directors from a wide range of industries, including public companies, Crown corporations, private companies and industry and trade associations. The purpose of these discussions was to understand directors' views on Canada's new economic security imperative and what it means for Canadian business leaders. With gratitude to all the directors who participated in these discussions, we are sharing some of the insights we learned from them.
