(April 11, 2003) Former federal finance minister Michael Wilson has been appointed chair of a financial services industry coalition created to improve corporate governance. The Canadian Coalition for Good Governance, formed last year, now has 19 corporate members from the pension, mutual fund and institutional investing world.

Wilson, CEO of UBS Asset Management, says he’s delighted to lead an organization that represents over $350 billion in assets and millions of Canadian pensioners and shareholders. “The work of the coalition will not only benefit our clients directly but will also help Canadian capital markets to build on their international reputation,” Wilson said in a statement.

The coalition will work to ensure that all publicly traded companies comply with TSX disclosure requirements and will promote independent representation on corporate boards of directors, Wilson said. It will also develop views on compensation issues, such as stock options, and will represent shareholders in matters of public policy, he added. Wilson served as finance minister from 1990 to 1994 with Brian Mulroney’s Conservative government.

Professor David Beatty of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto is the coalition’s first managing director. “We will work closely with regulators, exchanges, educational institutions and other organizations interested in good governance to ensure that the Canadian investment climate is investor friendly and attractive to foreign investors,” Beatty said.

Board members include Stephen Jarislowsky, chair and CEO of Jarislowsky Fraser Limited of Montreal, Claude Lamoureux, president and CEO of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan in Toronto, and Don Reed, president of Franklin Templeton Investments. Jarislowsky and Lamoureux came up with the idea for the coalition.
