CBC News has learned Prime Minister Mark Carney has invited 100 of the world’s biggest investors to a summit in Toronto this September. The conference aims to pitch organizations that control trillions of dollars in capital on investing in Canada.

The organizations include private investment firms such as Blackrock and some of the world’s biggest sovereign wealth funds, including Singapore’s GIC. Invitations were sent out this week, and none of the invited parties responded to CBC News before publication.
