How to Navigate Potential Foreign Corruption
9:40 am
10:40 am
Fasken Speakers: Patrick McCann, Counsel and Nabila Abdul Malik, Associate

The world has become more connected than ever. However with the greater ease of access to others around the world, comes new risks to those who want to do business outside of their home country. The presentation will discuss key concerns and potential pitfalls for Canadians doing business in foreign jurisdictions, focusing on developing countries, and key considerations within relevant Canadian legislation when dealing in foreign jurisdictions.

Reconciliation in Canada: Striving for Equity
10:50 am
11:50 am
Guest Speaker: Chris McLeod, CEO, NVision Insight Group

In this session we will explore the path toward reconciliation in Canada including perspectives from Indigenous communities, leaders and knowledge keepers. Reconciliation requires participation from every person, business and organization in this country and a commitment to support the TRC Calls to Action and the principles of UNDRIP. We will explore practical examples of reconciliation and some of the ideas around how individuals, groups and entities can take reconciliation action today.
