Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Confidence Economy
Q: So Glenda, maybe if you think about Canadian digital infrastructure, what part of our infrastructure do you think we need to own?
Glenda Crisp says Canada should retain control of its data, especially health and financial data, and use a risk-based approach. She defines sovereignty as choice and control, including the ability to avoid dependence on systems that could be switched off.
The Confidence Economy
Q: So against that backdrop, how should Canada think about balancing openness with our global partners, as we also think about what does sovereignty actually mean?
Mark Sam says companies choose global providers for quality and scale, particularly when larger data networks improve products. He adds that some Canadian customers hesitate because they fear global providers may deprioritize smaller markets.
Denis Dubois
Q: And what's your experience right now on mortgages, on consumer credit? What are consumers telling your Desjardins employees?
There are two groups: asset-rich customers who are doing well and those without assets who feel the impact of inflation and higher costs; overall, people are disciplined, but some defaults are rising; Desjardins focuses on providing advice to navigate tough periods.
Alison Nankivell
Q: What is economic complexity, and why does it matter to Canada?
Economic complexity is about adding sophisticated processing and services to core strengths to climb the value chain, which makes the economy more resilient and capable of achieving higher growth; she highlights examples and the potential GDP impact.
Alison Nankivell
Q: Hi, everyone. Alison, could you start off by giving us a little bit more about your takeaways from everything that has happened this week on more than one continent?
Alison emphasizes the significance of the Investment Summit as a catalyst for dialogue with global investors, the need for ongoing execution, and continuing deal flow as Canada shifts toward more diversified markets and deeper value-added production.
