“It’s clear that the world’s attention is  focused on ensuring that more people benefit from the growth we create. Canada  is ahead of the curve in diagnosing and addressing the problem. We believe that  when you have an economy that works for the middle class, you have a country  that works for everyone.”

  “Having these three highly qualified  individuals representing our interests at these important international  institutions will strengthen Canada’s influence on the world stage. This will  help create growth and prosperity for the middle class and those working hard  to join it.”
