  • Toronto Centre Podcasts hosted by Dr. Kennette Thigpen Harris is a standout podcast for business enthusiasts. Dr. Kennette's insightful interviews and deep understanding of the topic make each episode educational and engaging. He has a knack for making the topic easily digestible and turning it into actionable advice that listeners can apply to their situations. I highly recommend it - this is time well spent!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 187: Future-proofing Financial Supervision
Q: Welcome back, Michele, for our third in the three-part series on quantum computing and financial services. Looking ahead, what practical steps should financial supervisors prioritize now to ensure that regulated institutions are preparing for quantum-related risks rather than reacting too late?
Focus on identifying critical business functions and their cryptographic dependencies, develop credible transition roadmaps for post-quantum cryptography, ensure governance and board visibility into the risks, and adopt an agile, scenario-based approach to resilience and vendor risk. Build a risk-management framework that integrates technology with business risk, and run regular tabletop exercises to validate plans and readiness across the financial system.
Ep. 184: La taxonomie canadienne de la finance durable: la prochaine étape d'une supervision financière respectueuse du climat
Q: How might the taxonomy interact with regulators and potentially become mandatory in the future?
While the initial approach is voluntary, the taxonomy is designed to be interoperable with international standards and to provide clear benefits to supervisors by enabling assessment of financial portfolios against the taxonomy, potentially leading to future regulatory mandates.
Ep. 184: La taxonomie canadienne de la finance durable: la prochaine étape d'une supervision financière respectueuse du climat
Q: What are the three core elements of the Polaris (Étoile Polaire) framework, and how will they function in practice?
The framework comprises categories (green, transition, and emissions reduction), criteria (scientific standards to meet for an activity to be included), and guardrails (standards to mitigate social and environmental harms, including human rights and biodiversity considerations), which together define eligibility and ensure credible labeling of investments.
Ep. 184: La taxonomie canadienne de la finance durable: la prochaine étape d'une supervision financière respectueuse du climat
Q: Can you describe the mission of the Canadian Taxonomy and Transition Council and your role as president?
The council's mission is to develop and implement a Canadian taxonomy for sustainable finance across six major sectors, with a focus on reducing emissions and guiding capital toward climate-aligned activities, while balancing economic realities and governance.
Ep. 186: Policyholder Protection Schemes in a Climate-stressed World
Q: So Michael, let us start with the obvious opening question. Why TCNOTE on this topic? And briefly, what are the highlights of the note?
The note emphasizes that climate change and catastrophe risks are making PPSs increasingly important, outlines what PPSs are and aren't, and provides practical guidance for supervisors in emerging markets, including design choices, funding options, and coordination with catastrophe mechanisms.
