PRIME MINISTER Message from the Prime Minister of Canada, with a picture of Mark Carney. I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings to everyone participating in DemocracyXChange, Canada's democracy summit. This year's theme, "Building an Economy That Serves Democracy," speaks to one of the defining challenges f f ouar time. Stron g democracies depend not only on free and fair institutions, but also n economic systems that romote inclusion, opportunity, and integrity. When people believe the economy works for them, trust in our institutions grows and our society becomes more resilient. Canada has long believed that democratic strength and economic progress go hand in hand. By working together--across sectors and across borders_ we can ensure that innovation, growth, and global cooperation reinforce the values that underpin our democracy. As you engage in today's discussions, I encourage you to continue exploring bold ideas and practical solutions that will help build a more inclusive, sustainable. and democratic future for all. I would like to thank OCAD University, The Dais at Toronto Metropolitan University, and the Open Democracy Project for bringing together this diverse and dynamic group of leaders from across Canada and the world. Your efforts to foster dialogue make an invaluable contribution to our democratic life. Please accept my best wishes for a productive and inspiring summit. Ottawa 2026
