Canada’s financial hub has a unique opportunity to assert itself globally amid the uncertainty the Brexit vote has stirred up overseas, according to Toronto Financial Services Alliance CEO Janet Ecker.

But don’t expect Britons to immediately flock to Toronto now that the U.K. has voted to leave the European Union.

“I think a company, a global bank that has set up operations in London, is doing it for access to the EU; so they’re not necessarily going to be moving a headquarters to Toronto for better access to the EU,” Ecker told BNN in an interview.

“That being said, are there opportunities for talent to find better opportunities here? I think so.”

“It’s a stable market, it’s a strong and growing market, we have a financial services industry that is becoming more globally known,” Ecker noted. “We’re an international financial centre, so there’s a great value proposition for talent that may feel there isn’t a future in London to come here.”

“We’ll see” she says on whether her team will start actively courting companies.

“On the one hand, you don’t want to be ambulance chasing. Secondly, companies need time to digest what it means for them and there’s a lot of unanswered questions or a lot of other shoes that haven’t dropped yet. But at the same time, there is a chance to remind them of the value proposition that is here.”

Despite fears that Brexit will hamper the global economy, Ecker isn’t convinced it poses the same kind of threat as the financial crisis.

“The good news is both our economy and our financial institutions are well-positioned to withstand shocks. As many have said, this isn’t like Lehman Brothers. This is a different kind of shock.”
