Join Canadian Club Toronto on April 3 as we host The Honourable Susan Holt – the first woman to lead New Brunswick – for a compelling discussion on how the province is retooling its economy for the future in the face of strong economic headwinds from tariffs.
Premier Holt will share her insights on economic development and innovation, exploring strategies to drive growth, support local businesses, and attract investment to New Brunswick. She will also discuss the role of stronger interprovincial partnerships in boosting Canada’s economic competitiveness, examine the impact of U.S. tariffs on key industries and the province’s response, and share her vision of how New Brunswick is embracing transformational change to tackle healthcare and affordability.
