Who is Michael Sabia and why did Mark Carney bring him back into government?
Michael Sabia will add Clerk of the Privy Council to his resumé of senior corporate and government posts after the chief executive of Hydro Quebec was tapped by Prime Minister Mark Carney to lead Canada's civil service starting July 7, 2025. The one-time CEO of BCE Inc., Sabia has transitioned seamlessly back and forth between the public and private sectors during his extensive career. His latest job description will see him provide advice to the prime minister and senior elected officials from an objective, non-partisan, public policy perspective. Here's a look at Sabia's career and why Carney likely sought him out for his new role. Born in St. Catharines, Ont., about a 90-minute drive from Toronto, Sabia has spent his career moving between public and private roles, with much of his time spent with Quebec-based companies and institutions. His grandparents immigrated to Canada from Italy and his first language is English. But his command of French is very strong, which led to senior roles in Quebec. He has led organizations in several sectors including asset management, telecommunications, transportation and utilities. His government work has included senior roles in the finance department and the privy council office. His education includes earning a bachelor of arts degree in economics and politics from the University of Toronto and graduate degrees in the same areas of study from Yale University. Most recently, Sabia was CEO of Hydro-Quebec, which he joined in 2023. Prior to that he was the first native-English speaker to run the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, the province's multi-billion pension manager, a job he held from March 2009 to January 2020. His run as chief executive of the Caisse was widely considered a success despite some early concerns that he might be considered an outsider. Prior to that, he spent several years at Montreal-based Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE Inc.), joining in 1999 and rising through the ranks to become president and chief executive in 2002 after serving as chief operating office and CEO of Bell Canada International. From 1993 to 1999, he worked at Canadian National Railway, with roles including chief financial officer. Sabia was instrumental in the privatization of CN in 1995. Sabia was Canada's deputy minister of finance from 2020 to 2023. He was also a member of the Canadian government's Advisory Council on Economic Growth, which was created in 2016, and served as chair of the Canada Infrastructure Bank from 2020 to 2021. He spent much of his early career in government before moving to the private sector. In the 1980s and early 1990s, he worked at the department of finance where he was director general of tax policy and one of the architects of a comprehensive reform of Canada's tax system, and at the Privy Council Office, where he was deputy secretary to the cabinet. His boss there, clerk of the Privy Council Paul Tellier, left to run Canadian National Railway in the early 1990s and Sabia followed. Sabia won praise for stabilizing the Caisse de depot after it sustained a deep loss during the financial in 2008. During his tenure, assets nearly tripled, reaching $326.7 billion, and the pension posted five and 10-year annualized returns of 8.3 and 9.9 per cent. However, assessments of his earlier tenure at BCE were mixed. A sluggish share price led to shareholder unrest and a contentious takeover battle by a consortium that included the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, which intended to privatize the telecom company in what would have been the biggest corporate takeover in Canadian history. The planned deal ultimately did not take place, and some blamed Sabia for the tumultuous period marked by court battles. Sabia was named an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2016 in recognition of his leadership across business, finance and public service. In receiving the honour, he was credited by governor general Mary Simon with 'helping to rejuvenate Canada's fiscal infrastructure as the country's general director of tax policy before lending his business acumen to a number of iconic Canadian enterprises.' Hydro-Québec's new boss: What you should know about the man and the job Why turning Canada's new defence spending into economic growth may be 'easier said than done' Sabia's close association with Quebec is seen as a strength for the minority Liberal government that may need support from the Bloc Québécois party to remain in power and get key legislation passed. Carney already reached into the Caisse de depot, where Sabia also worked, for his chief of staff: former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations Marc-André Blanchard. Sabia also brings a deep understanding of Canadian pensions funds, which will be brought to bear as the government seeks to 'catalyze' billions of dollars in private investment. 'Canada's exemplary public service — with Mr. Sabia at the helm — will advance nation-building projects, catalyze enormous private investment to drive growth, and deliver the change Canadians want and deserve,' the government said in a statement announcing his appointment. • Email: bshecter@ Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Urban Jürgensen officially relaunches under the stewardship of Kari Voutilainen
The revival gains further momentum with the release of three new Urban Jürgensen timepieces—its first new collection in over a decade Let's shift focus from Switzerland to Denmark and discover one of the most storied Danish watch brands: Urban Jürgensen. Founded in Copenhagen in 1773, the brand was notable for its marine chronometers for the Danish Navy. In later years, its exceptional craftsmanship and Scandinavian design sensibility caught the eye of the Danish royal court, earning it the distinction of official watchmaker. It all but disappeared in the early 20th century, until it was revived in the 1980s by Swiss watchmaker Peter Baumberger, who partnered with English watchmaker Derek Pratt to continue Urban Jürgensen's legacy in producing high-quality, handcrafted timepieces that honoured traditional watchmaking techniques.

World Environment Day: These designers are making a case for sustainable fashion
Vivienne Westwood Above Designer Dame Vivienne Westwood () The late Dame Vivienne Westwood was a singular force in English fashion, whose punk-fuelled rebellion matured into a powerful call for environmental action. Although she launched her eponymous label in the 1970s, her focus pivoted towards sustainability in the 2010s. Her now-iconic philosophy—'Buy less, choose well, make it last'—became a global manifesto for conscious consumption, encouraging quality over quantity. The label kept fabric overstock below five per cent and committed to sourcing 90 to 95 per cent sustainable cotton, alongside responsibly sourced viscose, a strict no-fur policy and a dedication to leather alternatives. Beyond the brand, Westwood was an outspoken environmental advocate, collaborating with organisations such as Greenpeace—designing its Save the Arctic logo—and donating more than £1.5 million (approximately US$1.9 million) to Cool Earth, while also supporting Amnesty International and Friends of the Earth. Nanushka Co-founded by Sandra Sandor in 2005, Nanushka has become a contemporary luxury label known for its 'modern bohemian' aesthetic and deep-rooted commitment to sustainability. A cornerstone of the brand's innovation is Okobor™, its proprietary vegan leather developed over two years using recycled polyester sourced from post-consumer plastic bottles. Since the pre-autumn 2022 collection, all of Sandor's alternative-leather pieces have been crafted using this textile breakthrough. Circularity is at the heart of Nanushka's ethos. Its Anew collections breathe new life into archival designs using leftover materials from the brand's atelier. The label also advocates for more sustainable consumption through collaborations with resale and rental platforms including TheRealReal and Rent the Runway. Sandor has pledged to reduce Nanushka's greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent by 2030, with a long-term ambition of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. Brunello Cucinelli Above Brunello Cucinelli wins Community and Social Justice award at the 2017 Green Carpet Fashion Awards () Italian designer Brunello Cucinelli masterfully fuses timeless style with humanistic values. From the brand's headquarters in the restored medieval village of Solomeo, Italy, Cucinelli champions a philosophy of 'humanistic capitalism'—placing equal weight on profit, human dignity and cultural preservation. Renowned for its fine craftsmanship, the brand responsibly sources raw materials such as its signature high-quality cashmere. Cucinelli has also set ambitious sustainability targets, including reducing direct emissions by 70 per cent by 2028 and achieving net-zero by 2050. Environmental initiatives include the use of renewable energy, strict waste management protocols and eco-conscious dyeing processes. Beyond fashion, the brand reinvests a portion of its profits into cultural initiatives—from art restoration and education to the revitalisation of public spaces in Solomeo. Gabriela Hearst Gabriela Hearst launched her eponymous label in 2015, drawing inspiration from her family's 17,000-acre ranch in Uruguay, where durability and craftsmanship were everyday values. Her philosophy of 'honest luxury' centres on timeless design and environmental responsibility. Today, 30 per cent of the label's materials are made from deadstock fabrics. Collections often feature merino wool sourced from her family's farm, alongside material innovations such as Inversa™ Python leather—an alternative crafted from invasive species to help preserve biodiversity. In 2019, she made fashion history with the first-ever carbon-neutral, plastic-free runway show. Her boutiques also reflect this commitment to sustainability, with her New York flagship constructed using 90 per cent reclaimed construction waste. During her three-year tenure as creative director of Chloé, Hearst led the French maison to become the first European luxury fashion house to receive B Corp certification. Marine Serre Since winning the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers in 2017, Marine Serre has become a standout voice in the sustainability movement, recognised for her crescent moon logo and futuristic, upcycled fashion. Half of each of her collections are crafted from repurposed materials—think vintage scarves, denim and neoprene scuba suits. The other half incorporates lower-impact textiles such as biodegradable yarns and GOTS-certified organic cotton. At her 3,000-square-metre Paris atelier, Serre merges large-scale textile upcycling with creative design and public workshops aimed at sharing sustainable practices. She's also expanded her vision into furniture and accessories, bringing her circular philosophy to a wider lifestyle offering.
