David Cameron: Stephen Harper

Stephen Harper: The half-hour speech, touching on everything from the economy to global security and the values Canada shares with the United Kingdom, included a pitch for the prized trade agreement long sought by Harper's Conservative government, according to Times Colonist. "For Canada, and for Great Britain as a member of the EU, this will be a historic step a monumental one, in fact: A joint Canada-EU study has shown that a commercial agreement of this type would increase two-way trade by twenty per cent and LONDON - Stephen Harper thanked British counterpart David Cameron for his "robust advocacy" of a free trade pact between Canada and the European Union during his address Thursday in London to British lawmakers. "It remains our hope that we will soon achieve a comprehensive economic and trade agreement with the European Union, Canada's second-largest trading partner after the United States," Harper said.
