Business Roundtable with the Government of Canada: Securing economic growth in uncertain times

North America's political agenda is unclear as both Canada and the US face elections. Prime Minister Stephen Harper's minority government has clashed with the opposition parties over key issues such as the weakening economy, military involvement in Afghanistan, relations with the US and environmental concerns in Canada's energy rich provinces. While a majority government may be a long shot for the Conservatives, this election could prove to be a telling referendum for voters on the state of their country's economy and overall leadership.

The recent surge in global demand for commodities has turned Canada into a force on the world stage: its wealth of minerals and energy are sought after by rich countries and emerging markets alike. Indeed, the boom in western Canada has been dramatic, and the country's oil reserves are among the worlds' largest. However, the economic downturn in the US, Canada's most important trading partner, and the global financial crisis have hit the Canadian economy badly; this has been exacerbated by the very recent decline in commodity prices.

How will Canadian businesses boost their growth and profitability in these turbulent times? How will Canada's export-dependent manufacturing sector perform given the decline in the Canadian dollar? What will the rise in global inflation mean for monetary policy? How will Canada manage its most important relationship-with the US?

To address these issues and more, Economist Conferences is proud to present the Business Roundtable with the Government of Canada: Securing economic growth in uncertain times, on November 12th 2008 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto.

We are pleased to announce that Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty will participate in the Roundtable. He will be joined by:
