In Person

Earlier this year, the federal government's 2024 budget introduced changes to capital gains taxation, which came into effect on June 25. These changes have catalyzed a critical moment to reimagine and revitalize Canada's investment landscape, charting a bold new course for our economic future.  

For over a decade, Canada has faced declining investment in innovation and new productive capacity, contributing to our widening GDP gap versus US peers. Now, it's time to look forward and address how we can create a more competitive and attractive investment landscape. 

Join us for a critical and timely conversation to explore: 

  1. What should a pro-investment tax environment look like in Canada? 

  1. What is needed from future federal and provincial budgets to enable it? 

  1. How can Canada unlock the capital investment urgently needed for growth and innovation? 

Be in the room to hear industry leaders share strategies for boosting productivity, innovation and energy transition, as well as discuss the need for a productivity-friendly tax system. This event promises to be a morning of constructive solutions, insightful ideas and candid debate that will shape the future of investment in the Toronto region and Canada as a whole.

What was covered?

  • Solutions-Oriented Discussions: Explored critical questions for businesses as we look ahead to the 2024 Fall Economic Statement and the 2025 Budget.

Reigniting Investment, Creating the Environment for Canadian Businesses to Thrive

Canada is at a pivotal moment. Our economic growth is stalling, and without significant changes to how we approach business investment, we risk falling further behind on the global stage.
