Canadian Council Of Chief Executives: John Manley

Perimeter Security Dept: OTTAWA - The federal government's new perimeter security deal with the United States will create jobs and stimulate growth in both countries, says a leading business voice and one-time Liberal cabinet minister, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "Some of that expenditure is going to have to be made, to make things work. But to the extent that you facilitate the supply chain across the Canada-U.S. border, you're going to create jobs on both sides," Manley said Thursday in an interview and prime Minister Stephen Harper and U.S. President Barack Obama agree on need for better border security at a recent meeting. Former foreign minister John Manley, head of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, says the estimated $1-billion cost of the pact will be money well spent that pays dividends over time.
