The Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE) and School of Public Policy (University of Calgary) hosted a half-day Canada in the Pacific Century conference on December 10th (see: Canada in the Pacific Century), as part of its series on Canada/Asia trade.
The CCCE has now uploaded slides and videos from the conference – see: webcast of “Canada in the Pacific Century”.
Conference overview:
“Asia’s rise is the single most important force transforming the global economy at the beginning of the 21st century. Rapid urbanization and the expected doubling of the world’s middle class will have far-reaching consequences, from unprecedented demand for food, energy and other resources, to a reshaping of the multilateral trading system. Countries and companies that adapt successfully to these changes can expect to prosper and grow; others will be left behind. On behalf of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, thank you for participating in this conference series on Canada’s economic prospects in a rebalanced global economy.”
Speakers included: Robert Mansell (School of Public Policy, University of Calgary), Ken Hughes (Albert Minister of Energy), Hal Kvisle (President and CEO, Talisman Energy), John Zahary (President and CEO, Sunshine Oilsands), Ray Boisvert (Former Assistant Director, CSIS), Richard George (Chairman, Osum Oil Sands Corp.), Lorraine Mitchelmore (President and Canada Country Chair, Shell Canada Limited) and John Manley (President and CEO, CCCE).
