The Government thanks the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International T rade for its June report entitled Canada and the Future of the World T rade Organization. The Committee’s work plays an important role in preparing Canada for future trade negotiations at the World T rade Organization (WTO) and has clearly demonstrated the value to the Government of its commitment to consult with Canadians from all parts of the country and from all walks of life. The impact of the forces of globalization on the international economy and the world trading system has been profound, and will certainly continue. Improvements in telecommunications and information technology, changes in business practices, and other developments have unleashed tremendous trade and investment opportunities. As a result, Canadians are selling, exploring, investing, and consulting in all corners of the world as never before. Selling the goods and services we produce in the global market promotes economic growth in Canada, creates jobs for Canadians, projects Canadian values abroad, and strengthens the fabric of our society at home.
