What do you think the future holds for the Canadian economy, specifically in regard to trade with Mexico?
The Canadian and Mexican economies have weathered the storm in the economic downturn of the last few years much better than the United States, which they rely on for more than 80 percent of their trade. In the last year, Canadian-Mexican trade has gone up 15 percent and there are signs that it will continue to grow … Mexico’s presidency of the G20 is global recognition of Mexico’s increasing leadership on financial issues at the world stage and of its own economic management, and there’s been a lot of cooperation between Canada and Mexico within the G8 context on issues relating to global financial and health and global economic matters, so we’ve two relatively strong economies working together quite closely.
