Description
Since taking office last year, Mark Carney has signaled a major change in both tone and policy for the Government of Canada, including how it engages with Saskatchewan. But to what end? How does this new government think and work, how is its approach to fiscal and economic levers evolving, and ultimately, what matters most when it comes to advancing effective policy ideas and advocacy in this new era in Ottawa?
In this fireside chat, the Chamber brings in policy expert Tyler Meredith, Founding Partner, Meredith Boessenkool & Phillips Policy Advisors, for a candid, conversation-style discussion on what is shaping decision-making in Ottawa today. Tyler has worked for both Prime Ministers Trudeau and Carney and has seen governing philosophy up close, having helped craft multiple federal budgets and recent Liberal Party platforms.
The conversation will unpack what “Carneynomics” actually means in practice, what this new government is seeking to achieve, and where Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan businesses can engage most effectively. Attendees will leave with practical insights and opportunities to work with Ottawa to unlock new investment, strengthen trade, and support prosperity during a critical moment of nation-building.
About Tyler Meredith
Founding Partner, Meredith Boessenkool & Phillips Policy Advisors
Following seven intense years, ending as the lead economic policy advisor to Canada’s governing party, Tyler still firmly believes that public policy is about making life better for people.
Helping oversee Canada’s economic response to COVID-19, Tyler witnessed firsthand how solid non-partisan policy saved jobs, businesses, and lives during one of the most critical times in Canadian history. Tyler is intent on bringing the same strong policy acumen to supporting clients across Canada and creating superior policy-based solutions.
First enticed into political life in late 2015, Tyler was recruited from a think tank to advise Canada’s Prime Minister on domestic economic policy. Tyler then spent the next seven years in government because he knew there was no other job where he could impact so many people in so many positive ways in such a short period of time. Tyler helped deliver six federal budgets, held responsiblity for tax and financial sector policy, including all financial sector transaction reviews from 2019-2022, and architected two winning federal campaign platforms.
Along with his partner role at Meredith Boesskenkool & Phillips, Tyler is also Fellow at University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, and Fellow at the Maytree Foundation. When not busy shaping policy, Tyler loves to experience the world and all it has to offer with his life partner Chris, and their chocolate lab, Cole.
