The Centre for Trade Policy and Law (CTPL) and Carleton University, in association with Cowater International and Grey, Clark, Shih and Associates, present:

“What Would a Progressive Trade Agenda for Canada Look Like?”
Guest speaker: Arancha González, Executive Director, International Trade Centre (ITC), Geneva.

International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland is promoting a more inclusive growth strategy in Canada’s commercial relations with the world. What does this “Progressive Trade Agenda” mean for Canada’s engagement with its developing country trading partners?
ITC Executive Director Arancha González is an internationally-recognized thought leader on how women’s empowerment, SME competitiveness, and income distribution objectives can be promoted through increased trade and investment between developed and developing countries.

Please join us for an interactive discussion with her on how Canada can put into practice a strategy to achieve both its trade objectives and better development outcomes.
