Notes for Remarks by The Honourable Michael Wilson, PC, OC
Canadian Ambassador to the United States
"Advancing the North American Economic Area"
North American Forum
This is standard fare from our Canadian ambassador so I'll just pull out a few key quotes for you :
"I am looking forward to this morning’s discussion on "Enhancing Economic Integration and Competitiveness." This is a top priority for Canada."
"Building a competitive North American platform is essential"
"to engage the world as a North American economic powerhouse."
"a strong, dynamic, and increasingly integrated North American economy."
(it goes on at lenth in much the same tone and focus) This commentry extracted from "thegaloping beaver" blog where they say it so much better than I can! A link to the full text of the speech is included at that site.
