JOE OLIVER
Montreal Economic Institute
Joe Oliver hasn’t shied away from the spotlight since the Tories’ election loss last October. Most recently, he railed against supply management in an op-ed in the Financial Post, claiming that the system creates “protectionist intrusion in the marketplace.” Such views are a basic tenet of the Montreal Economic Institute, which Oliver joined this March as a distinguished senior fellow. His appointment was considered part of the pro-market think tank’s bid to move into national prominence. Oliver, a former MP for Eglington-Lawrence and investment banker with Merrill Lynch, Nesbitt Thomson and First Marathon, has also brought his expertise to independent investment bank Origin Merchant Partners, where he now sits as chairman of its advisory board, tasked with providing guidance on government legislation and policies that affect business.
