Canadian Club of Toronto — News
Canadian Club of Toronto

The Canadian Club of Toronto is Canada’s preeminent public affairs podium. Since 1897, we have served an ambitious and important mission: to connect Canadians with world-class leaders and newsmakers and be a leading platform for influencers to engage Canadians on what matters most.

Over our 125 year history as a not-for-profit organization, we continue to be a forum for Governors General and Prime Ministers, CEOs and Nobel laureates, scientists, artists and innovators. We have a proud tradition of hosting national and international leaders in politics, business, social innovation and the media, and our members and audiences are drawn from an equally diverse and distinguished group of leaders.

The Canadian Club addresses routinely generate national coverage across multiple platforms. In addition to reported media coverage and our in-person audience of several hundred people, we make our programming accessible to all Canadians through broadcasts on cable television and webcasts, available online.

Events run between September and June in downtown Toronto. As an independent, non-profit organization, we make all our events open to the public. Tickets can be purchased online or through our office at 416-364-5590.

Ontario Onwards: A Talk with Ontario’s President of the Treasury Board

The Honourable Peter Bethlenfalvy Nov 26, 2020

Show notes

Join Canadian Club Toronto on November 26 as we host the Hon. Peter Bethlenfalvy, President of the Treasury Board of Ontario and Minister responsible for Digital and Data Transformation to discuss the government of Ontario’s response to COVID-19 and their plans to build a more accessible, digital, and responsive government. Minister Bethlenfalvy is responsible for the government’s modernization initiatives, which help government service providers transform their operations by embracing modern technology, data-driven decision making, and more convenient, accessible digital options. In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, this work has become even more important, because of the necessity to maintain social distancing guidelines and keep Ontarians safe and healthy. Minister Bethlenfalvy will provide an update on the government’s recently announced budget and detail how key budget initiatives are being brought to life through Ontario Onwards: Ontario’s COVID-19 Action Plan for a People-Focused Government. He will speak about the province’s work building a nimble and responsive public service that can adapt to future shocks and will outline modernization initiatives and the government’s plan to make service delivery more convenient, reliable, and accessible in a post-COVID world. Peter Bethlenfalvy is Ontario’s President of the Treasury Board, Minister responsible for digital and data transformation and MPP for Pickering—Uxbridge. As President, he leads the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS), the ministry responsible for reviewing and approving provincial expenditures to ensure the long-term fiscal sustainability of government services. TBS holds responsibility for the province’s internal audit and expenditure management efforts and is also the official employer of the province’s public servants. As such, Minister Bethlenfalvy is responsible for labour relations with the province’s public sector labour unions. In order to strengthen fiscal management and better protect against future risks, Minister Bethlenfalvy led the creation of Ontario’s Office of the Comptroller General, a new Deputy Minister position within Treasury Board Secretariat – the first of its kind in any Canadian province. As Minister responsible for digital and data transformation, Minister Bethlenfalvy leads the government’s transformation and modernization efforts that seek to make government services more convenient, reliable, and accessible to the people of Ontario. He is also Chair of the Audit and Accountability Committee and the Future State Modernization Committee. Prior to entering public service, Minister Bethlenfalvy served in senior leadership roles for several financial institutions including as President and Chief Operating Officer of TD Securities (USA) and Co-President of DBRS. Throughout his career, Minister Bethlenfalvy has been dedicated to ensuring long-term financial stability. In 2009, as Co-President of DBRS, his company led an extensive review of the Ontario Liberal government’s finances that culminated in a credit downgrade, expressing concerns that unsustainable spending would impact frontline services and hurt future generations. He has served on the Board of Directors for many charitable organizations. In 2014, he joined the True Patriot Love Expedition to the magnetic North Pole in support of Canadian military families. He holds both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Business Administration from McGill University which included a year at the HEC School of Management, Paris; and a Master of Arts in Political Science from the University of Toronto.

Competition is what drives businesses to develop innovative products, increase the quality of their offerings, and improve affordability for consumers. Historically, that has been the Competition Bureau’s focus. Now however, with the advent of COVID-19, we must also consider how competition can play a strategic role in Canada’s economic recovery. The need for a strong focus on competition, and on the well-being of Canada’s small- and medium-sized businesses is even more striking as we navigate this global crisis. Join Canadian Club Toronto on November 25 to hear Canada’s Commissioner of Competition, Matthew Boswell, talk about the Bureau’s role in safeguarding competition, and advocating for procompetitive regulation in the context of a global pandemic. After his remarks, Mr. Boswell will sit down with Christine Dobby (The Globe and Mail) for a fireside chat. Matthew Boswell was appointed Commissioner of Competition on March 5, 2019, for a five-year term. Mr. Boswell first joined the Bureau in January 2011 as Associate Deputy Commissioner, Criminal Matters. In 2012, he became Senior Deputy Commissioner, Cartels and Deceptive Marketing Practices. In July 2017, he began a one-year assignment as Senior Deputy Commissioner, Mergers and Monopolistic Practices. As a Senior Deputy Commissioner, Mr. Boswell led numerous merger reviews and directed major investigations targeting criminal cartels, abuse of dominance and deceptive marketing practices. Before joining the Bureau, Mr. Boswell was Senior Litigation Counsel in the Enforcement Branch at the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), where he primarily prosecuted securities fraud and related matters. Prior to his work at the OSC, Mr. Boswell was an Assistant Crown Attorney in Toronto with the Ministry of the Attorney General of Ontario. As a Crown Attorney, he prosecuted all types of criminal offences. Mr. Boswell has also worked in private practice and began his legal career at a Toronto law firm.
