MI-2 COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION ENSURE CONTINUED SUCCESS

~TM In September 2012 I joined the GTMA as Co-Chair (Private Sector) alongside Pickerings Mayor David Ryan as Co-Chair (Public Sector) Since then my role has allowed me to focus on what the GTA needs to do to become globally competitive to foreign investors how coordinated regional business missions can help and how the GTMA can be strengthened in its role

bull| of attracting foreign direct investment to the Greater Toronto Area Earlier this past year Istepped down as Chair of Civic I Action Alliance where Ihad been working to achieve several objectives in this positionA key objective was to address what | our delegates told the Civic Action Alliance at the Greater Toronto Summit meeting in February 2011 The message then and

also now was loud and clear that economic development is a regional challenge Up until now our approach has beenwith the exception of the herculean pioneering efforts made by the GTMA not very regional

The problem that the GTMA continues to face is that it is underresourced Ifit is going to be an organization to effectively spearhead a regional effort to market the GTA asa place for investment and job creation it needs to bestrengthened Itmeans we have to revitalize the organization to earn theconfidence oftheentire region and also to attract substantial additional resources to get the job done effectivelyThis objective was fulfilled when PwC prepared the very detailed Roadmap to Revitalization report In working on the PwC report we have forged a strong partnership between Civic Action and the GTMA Itwas felt thatsince Civic Actions Summit in February 201 I identified the real desire on the partof partners in the region for a more coordinated regional marketing effort that we needed to build up the GTMA organization that has existed for some time and has done very good work

The GTMA hasdone good work on a very limited budgetduring its eighteen yearsand done it without sufficient involvement of everybody in the region Now through the work of the Roadmap to Revitalization weve found ways to remedy those shortcomings My time to date has been focused on those things but this is not a partnership with Civic Action Within the region there have been various individual business missions taking place I dont believe these activities create competition that should be problematic for other municipalities in the GTA or the GTA as a wholeI think that it is more desirable for us to haveas many of those missions as possiblebeing regional and representing the entire GTA Foreign investment is going to play a role in tackling unemployment Its going to be a contributor as are start-up businesses led by entrepreneurs and the expansion of existing businessesThese are all very important to a growing economy and to creating newjobs and reducing unemployment Foreign direct investment is part of the answerThats why its important that we pursue that as effectively as possible We have to believe that a stronger regional organization thats out chasing foreign investment and doing it efficiently isgoing to be a big plus

With all of the success this year GTMA has achieved that on a very limited budget It achieved it on the basis where there was still a lack of unanimous commitment to a regional organization and theres a need to substantially increase the resources ifwere going to make this organization effectiveThis has now been identified by the Roadmapto Revitalization report Until I stepped down from myrole as Co-Chair (Private Sector) my rolehad been to comeup with a plan to revitalize this organization to make it completely regional with everybody buying in 100 per cent and to getmore resources to allow it to do even more of the work that it does bestWe were assisted in this through the consulting services of PwC in the preparation of the report My goal continues to be to try to get the agreement of all the different players involved to design a framework for a larger expanded truly regional and well-supported organizationmdashwell-supported meaning more moneyThats been my mandate and I look forward to working with all of the GTA partners to make it happen

[J y Mayor John Tory City ofToronto Co-Chair (Private Sector) GTMA (to November 30 2014)

Director GTMA (December 12014)

2014 was another productive year for the GTMA in attracting significant foreign direct investment (FDI) to the Greater TorontoArea (GTA)We should all be proud of our shared achievements andcontributions to the GTAs economic landscape which George Hanus PresidentampCEO outlines in greater detail within his letterThe GTMA continued to implement its FDI activities based on the 2011-2014 Corporate Strategic Plan - the result of an extensive consultation process between

the GTMA Board of Directors and key stakeholders

This past year saw the GTMA identify a select number of markets and limited sectors for proactive FDI workWhile we will maintain this focused approach the GTMA will continue to assist with projects from other markets and sectors referred by partner organizations This ongoing interaction and collaboration has strengthened our relationships with multiple private and public sector stakeholders I am proud to inform you that the GTMAs human and financial resources are now exclusively focused on its core mandate of FDI as reflected by the strong results achieved in 2014 I was pleased to work

closely with my Co-Chair JohnTory on the implementation of theRoadmap to Revitalization project on the future of the GTMA

While discussions with senior decision makers at the provincial and federal governments havegenerated very encouraging indications of support there is still much work to be done As such the newly-formed GTMA Transition Committee will develop the blueprint for restructuring and growing the GTMA This new-look GTMA will have more tools and resources to better collaborate with regional partners and related economic development organizations

Iagain thank the GTMA stafffor their hard work and effortsthis past year I must also highlight my appreciation of the Mayors and Regional Chairs and their respective municipal economic development professionals for their continued support of the GTMAWe are also thankful to the federal government for its support through the Department of Foreign AffairsTrade and Development (DFATD) and the provincial government through the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development Employment and Infrastructure (MEDEI) and Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) 2015 holds a great deal of promise and I look forward to working with municipal colleagues and key stakeholders across the GTA so that we can present a more cohesive and robust value proposition for international investment s-
