A LOOK AHEAD

FIVE BUSINESS EVENTS TO WATCH THIS WEEK

Poloz Talks Trade South of the Border:

Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz will be discussing cross-border trade integration and monetary policy when he speaks Monday before Western Washington University in Bellingham, Wash.

CEO of OSC Takes Public Stage:

On Tuesday in Toronto, Maureen Jensen gives her first keynote address since she became chairwoman and CEO of the Ontario Securities Commission earlier this year. On her watch, the securities watchdog launched Canada's first paid whistleblower program in its efforts to crack down on white-collar crime.

BlackBerry:

The company that birthed the smartphone market releases its second-quarter results Wednesday. Two months ago, the Waterloo, Ont., tech darling launched the DTEK50, which it billed at the time as the most secure Android device ever made.

GDP:

Economic growth has been feeble as of late, so investors, economists and policy-makers will be watching closely when Statistics Canada releases the gross domestic product figures for July on Friday.

Clock Ticks on Pacific NorthWest LNG:

Another deadline on a major energy development draws near. The Pacific NorthWest LNG project in Prince Rupert, B.C., led by Malaysian energy giant Petronas, would cost an estimated $36 billion if it proceeds. A three-month review period by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency expires next Sunday.
