The Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE) is an organization in Canada of chief executive officers of roughly 150 major Canadian corporations. The organization was founded in 1976 as the Business Council on National Issues, but renamed itself in 2001. The council actively comments on public policy in Canada. Member CEOs lead companies that collectively administer $4.5 trillion Canadian dollars in assets, and more than $850 billion CAD in annual revenues. The Chief Executive and President of the organization is The Honourable John P. Manley, P.C., O.C..
The Council's member CEOs and entrepreneurs come from all sectors of the Canadian economy. Governance and the overall direction of the organization is provided by the Board of Directors, a 24-member body which meets three times annually. The process of developing policy, however, involves all members of the Council.
The full membership meets twice each year to discuss priority issues and review progress on the Council's work programme. Members also engage directly in policy work throughout the year in three major areas: Canada, North America and the world. Within Canada, the Council's work on national issues addresses primarily fiscal and monetary policy, taxation, regulatory, environmental, competitiveness and corporate governance. The Council's North American agenda focuses primarily on issues related to Canada - United States economic interdependence, integration and security as well as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Globally, the Council's work addresses primarily international finance, trade, investment and development policy as well as multilateral, regional and bilateral relationships beyond North America.
In addition, the Council creates special initiatives and temporary task forces to deal with specific priority issues. Members also participate in a variety of special events, roundtables and other initiatives relevant to the Council's mandate.
Day-to-day leadership of the Council is provided by the Chief Executive and President working in concert with the Council's Chairman and with the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. The current Chairman is Hartley T. Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of James Richardson & Sons, Limited.
