TD unveils a five-year, $150 billion commitment to finance and advise in Canada’s future sectors, including energy, critical minerals, infrastructure, defence and aerospace, and digital/AI-driven industries.

TD Economics projects about $1 trillion in new investments across more than 300 projects through 2035, with potential to reach $1.7 trillion if policy action accelerates.

The plan is framed around a TD Economics report, Triggering a Canadian Investment Supercycle, to illustrate the scale and momentum behind these investments.

Chun personalizes the message by recalling his family's arrival from Korea, framing Canada as a land of opportunity that welcomes global perspectives and a skilled workforce.

The push reflects a coordinated effort among banks and pension funds to boost Canada’s economy and long-term competitiveness, including the creation of the Scotia Growth Institute to inform policy and markets.

The initiative focuses on supporting small and mid-sized businesses, Indigenous economic participation, sustainable growth, and workforce readiness.

TD expands its small and commercial banking unit, adds staff and regional teams, and plans programs to build skills in growing sectors, including AI literacy, digital capability, and entrepreneurship.

TD operates through four main segments—Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, U.S. Retail, Wealth Management and Insurance, and Wholesale Banking—with numerous brands under each.

TD’s CEO highlights coordination among investors, opportunities, government work, and banking funding to trigger a Canada investment supercycle, supported by tax and regulatory improvements and skilled labor access.

The speech calls for collective action among governments, businesses, and investors to seize the opportunity, speed project delivery, and build Canada’s future over decades.

TD emphasizes its deep sector expertise, growing talent, and broad North American footprint as a lever to accelerate investment and connect clients with capital.

Markets responded with a slight pre-market dip for TD shares, tracking near $120 after yesterday’s uptick.
