Mark Wiseman was appointed as a director and chair of the board of directors of the Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo) on June 19, 2020, with the role effective July 1, 2020, succeeding Richard Bird after his second three-year term.

Public Advocacy and Views

Century Initiative and Population Growth Advocacy

Mark Wiseman co-founded the in 2014 with , former global managing director of , and currently serves as its Chair of the . The non-partisan organization functions as a dedicated to advocating policies that would expand Canada's to 100 million by 2100, primarily via elevated and sustained immigration targets averaging around 500,000 to 750,000 permanent residents annually, adjusted for economic and integration capacities. Wiseman's advocacy centers on the premise that deliberate expansion is necessary to counter Canada's low rates—hovering below level at approximately 1.4 births per woman as of recent —and resultant aging demographics, which threaten without intervention. In a 2019 interview, he argued that while current trends project modest growth to about 50 million by 2100, achieving 100 million would bolster , , and global competitiveness by creating a larger and talent pool, thereby enabling higher GDP and improved public services funding. He has emphasized proactive policy measures, including streamlined screening to prioritize skilled workers while upholding security standards, over reliance on organic recovery. Through the , Wiseman promotes a multifaceted encompassing , reforms, and federal-provincial coordination to accommodate growth, positing that a larger would generate in sectors like and resources, ultimately yielding greater prosperity for existing residents. The group annually publishes a Scorecard evaluating federal progress on growth enablers such as policy, supply, and labor market integration; its 2025 edition, launched in early year, highlighted persistent gaps in execution amid public debates on immigration's fiscal impacts. Wiseman maintains that such expansion, if managed effectively, aligns with Canada's historical immigration-driven success, though he acknowledges integration challenges require evidence-based adjustments rather than reduced targets.

Controversies and Criticisms

BlackRock Departure and Conduct Issues

Mark Wiseman departed from on December 5, 2019, as global head of active equities, following a violation of the firm's "relationships at work" policy. The policy requires disclosure of personal s with colleagues to avoid conflicts of interest, particularly when involving direct reports or subordinates. Wiseman acknowledged in an internal memo to employees that he had engaged in a consensual with a colleague in recent months and failed to report it, stating, "I am leaving because in recent months I engaged in a consensual relationship with one of our colleagues." BlackRock's co-presidents, Robert Kapito and Martin Small, confirmed the termination in a separate , emphasizing that the departure stemmed from Wiseman's of company conduct rules rather than the relationship itself. This incident marked the second high-level executive exit at in 2019 due to personal conduct violations, following the June departure of the global head of for similar undisclosed relationship issues. Wiseman, who joined in 2016 after leading the Investment Board, was previously viewed as a potential successor to CEO , adding significance to the abrupt end of his tenure. The matter drew attention due to Wiseman's married status at the time—his wife Rachel Wiseman headed 's Canadian operations—and the power dynamics involved, as the reportedly involved a subordinate. No formal allegations of or non-consensual behavior were reported, with and Wiseman framing the issue strictly as a infraction on . In the aftermath, Wiseman resigned from his chairmanship of the Focused Capital Long-Term Global initiative (FCLTGlobal) in 2020, citing the events.

Critiques of Immigration and Economic Policies

Mark Wiseman, as co-founder of the Century Initiative in 2014, has promoted policies to expand Canada's population to 100 million by 2100, primarily through sustained high levels of immigration averaging around 750,000 permanent residents annually alongside temporary residents. Critics, including Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, have described this agenda as "radical," arguing it seeks to nearly triple the population via mass inflows without adequate safeguards or infrastructure preparation. Poilievre has specifically linked Wiseman's involvement to Liberal immigration strategies, contending they prioritize unchecked growth over sustainable development. Wiseman has advocated reducing traditional immigration screening processes, stating that much of it is "frankly, just a waste of time" and suggesting should "let people in by and large." This position has faced backlash for potentially compromising and integration standards, with opponents highlighting risks from expedited entries amid rising concerns over crime and cultural cohesion in high- contexts. Public sentiment has shifted, with 58% of Canadians in 2024 viewing immigration levels as too high—the highest since 1998—amid visible strains on services and communities. On the economic front, Wiseman's emphasis on population expansion as a driver of prosperity has been challenged by data indicating adverse per capita effects. Canada's GDP per capita declined by 2.0% from 2020 to 2024, even as overall GDP grew, largely due to unprecedented permanent and temporary inflows exceeding 1 million in 2023 alone. Analyses from the note that while immigration boosts aggregate output in the short run, it depresses per capita GDP and real wages by diluting capital-to-labor ratios. High inflows have also intensified pressures, with a 1% increase linked to over 3% annual rises in home prices, contributing to rent surpassing 8% and persistent affordability crises. Organizations like the Population Institute of Canada have critiqued the Century Initiative's model as a "blueprint for a bigger, broken ," arguing it fuels unaffordable , , and deficits without commensurate gains. Reports indicate record has worsened Canada's standing in and affordability metrics globally, with federal warnings as early as 2022 flagging risks to services from rapid increases. Empirical studies confirm a positive between immigrant influxes and municipal price escalation from 2006 to 2021, underscoring supply-demand imbalances.
