    Feb. 15

  • 1:30  - 2:30 PM
    The sands of pension and corporate law and policy are shifting under our feet this year as the federal government pursues a variety of economic changes which will affect investment, economic and social outcomes. Big controversies over things like inflation-fighting measures, mergers, and protecting pensions are challenging the old economic policy playbook, and changing the rules for investment and innovation for all of us. So where is the battle over inflation headed, what’s next for competition law, and what will happen with the fight over pension beneficiary super-priority in insolvencies as Bill C-228 goes to the Senate?

    Our panel of economists and legal experts will walk us through why pensions and investment leaders need to understand what’s changed in how we think about economic policy, the reality behind these and other shifts, what’s coming up next, and what it all means for our economic and social future.
