Mr. Speaker, the Asia-Pacific is the most dynamic economic region in the world. It is a great opportunity for Canada as one of the 18 members of APEC and the incoming chair of APEC to advance our opportunities in the Asia-Pacific.
Next year we will have the opportunity to host APEC. From coast to coast there will be a wide variety of activities which will fully engage the business community so that we can help to advance our export and investment opportunities. As I have said before, that means jobs and economic growth here in Canada.
