The CCCE was originally known as the Business Council on National Issues (BCNI). Its name was changed to the Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE). In January 2016, the CCCE was renamed the Business Council of Canada. According to a January 2016 article, members of the "40-year-old organization" are "CEOs and entrepreneurs of 150 leading Canadian companies" that "employ 1.4 million Canadians, account for more than half the value of the Toronto Stock Exchange, contribute the largest share of federal corporate taxes, and are responsible for most of Canada’s exports, corporate philanthropy, and private-sector investments in research and development."
