“The Time has come it get it done.”
This rather blunt, but some might say needed statement comes from Brian Mulroney, senior partner at the law firm Ogilvy Renault LLP, during a recent visit to Beijing. In his remarks, printed in the National Post, Brian comments on the need to strengthen foreign investment in both countries and calls for a Canada-China Investment Agreement. The Agreement, he notes, the two countries have been working on for more than 10 years.
Brian also gives a bit of a history lesson as he describes how Canada prepared itself for foreign business and allowed greater access from foreign markets. He noted the adherence to certain economic models and also the acknowledgement at the time, for growth in policy development.
Brian then looks to the future as Canada emerges from the recession, and comments on the importance of Asian markets in the economic recovery, the significance of the global value chains and also the need for countries to go beyond just economic responsibility.
To take a closer look at his comments, you can read the National Post’s article “The promise of a Canada-China alliance.”
