Latin America Commitment Lunch - with Keynote Speaker Minister David Emerson, Minister of International Trade & Minister for the Pacific Gateway and the Vancouver-Whistler Olympics. Sponsored by Export Development Canada
Alexandra Bugailiskis - Assistant Deputy Minister, Executive Coordinator, Strategy for The Americas
Information:
The Government of Canada has signaled strongly that reviving and expanding Canada’s political and economic engagement with the Americas is a strategic priority. Both the Prime Minister’s recent visit to the region and the announcement of a new Americas Strategy reflects a growing recognition of the potential to increase two-way trade, investment, and technological linkages between Canada and the Americas. As a key stakeholder in the Americas your presence at our Latin America Commitment Lunch is an important part of fulfilling this goal while reflecting your commitment to the region.
In the years to come the CCA BC will enhance the role it plays with Canadian businesses and is a growing organization that seeks to parallel the government’s new focus on the Americas. If you are committed to the development of the multilateral relationship between Canada and the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, then this is a good opportunity to show it by attending this important event.
This will be an invite-only Executive luncheon
