Front Burner27:59The world’s biggest risks, with Gerry Butts
Today, Gerry Butts — former principal secretary to Justin Trudeau and current adviser to Prime Minister Carney — is on the show.
Butts is also the vice-chairman of the global political risk firm, the Eurasia group, which releases a “top risks” list every year.
