In a Gowlings-sponsored report released today, Canada's top
business leaders, policy experts and academics are sending a clear
message: it's time for Canada to strengthen its relationships
with the world's emerging markets or risk being left
behind.
The report,
Winning in a Changing World: Canada & Emerging Markets, was
hand-delivered to Prime Minister Stephen Harper this morning during
a private meeting with the report's authors, which included
Gowlings strategic adviser and report co-chair Len Edwards. The
report will also be shared with opposition leaders, premiers and
territorial leaders.
"This report is an important wake-up call to governments
and businesses alike," said Edwards, who previously served as
Canada's deputy minister for Foreign Affairs and for
International Trade. "Gowlings' support for this timely
work reflects our appreciation of the challenges our clients face
in forging winning strategies in a hyper-competitive 21st century,
in which global wealth, opportunity and economic power are quickly
shifting to emerging markets."
Winning in a Changing World is the result of months of research
and roundtable discussions across Canada through the Norman
Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University.
The final report was guided by a national advisory council
featuring prominent members of Canada's business, policy and
academic communities, and was co-sponsored by SNC-Lavalin, Barrick
Gold Corporation, AGF, CGI, Enbridge, the Centre for International
Governance Innovation, CIBC and iPolitics.
