John McKenzie believes that building a network and attracting a broad group of investors are critical steps to scaling up companies. He shares his perspective in an address at the Canadian Club Toronto on how to ensure that Canada’s public markets remain globally competitive.

That’s the real democratization of investment. So we should be wanting to see more of these companies come to the public domain so that everyone can actually participate with them.”
