For six straight years the United Nations has ranked Canada the best country in the world in which to live. One of our biggest boosters has been our ability to do business with the outside world.
Trade enhances the quality of Canadian life.
Success in the international marketplace helps gives Canadians the economic energy we need to create the nation we want. Think about it. More than 40 percent of everything that Canadians produce is exported. In 1998, Canada shattered its own export record for the seventh straight year. Only one out of every 200 people in the world is Canadian.
