Three eminent personalities from the political and business worlds will discuss the future of free trade agreements and their impacts on international trade. While the entry into force of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) will provide easier access to one of the most important markets on the planet, the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union has added a dose of uncertainty. The rise of protectionism in the United States is likely to have a significant impact on NAFTA, but the concrete implications for Québec’s companies and cooperatives remain unknown.
- In a global economic context marked by uncertainty, what should Québec businesses and cooperatives expect?
- What business opportunities relating to these agreements can be anticipated in Europe and in North America?
- How can Québec businesses and cooperatives get ready to take advantage of them?
Jean Charest, Pierre Pettigrew, and Monique Leroux share their vision and their outlooks during this business luncheon.
This meeting is being held as part of the annual congress of the Conseil québécois de la coopération et de la mutualité (CQCM), which is partnering with the Chamber for the organization of this event hosted by Michel Leblanc, President and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal.
