Clerk Of The Privy Council: Economic Conference

Atlantic Canada Dept: "We re at a structural changing point in the global economy," said Kevin Lynch, vice-chairman of BMO Financial Group, according to The Chronicle Herald. Lynch, a former clerk of the Privy Council, said the region s links to those areas are not well-developed and there is a growing demand to meet the needs of emerging middle classes in those countries and atlantic Canada needs to do a better job of courting emerging economies in Asia and South America as its population ages, productivity lags, and the world copes with financial crises, say organizers of an economic conference planned for next month. "Increasingly the opportunities are going to be in places like Brazil, India and China. So, how do we make sure that five years from now we in Atlantic Canada have the capacity to do business in those economies?" (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
