In the latest episode of SFA’s Bright Ideas podcast, Dallin Merrill, SFA’s Head of Policy, sits down with Elie Silver, Head of Canadian Securitization and Mortgage Aggregation at Scotiabank, to recap SFCanada 2026 and discuss key trends shaping the Canadian structured finance market.

The conversation explores the growth of mortgage-related assets and digital infrastructure ABS, the outlook for private RMBS issuance, and how market participants are approaching artificial intelligence in structured finance.

Elie also shares his perspective on the energy and momentum coming out of this year’s record-setting SFCanada conference, describing a market that is increasingly growth-oriented and attracting strong investor and issuer engagement.
