Forthcoming Report: Prime Minister Stephen Harper

Prime Minister Stephen Harper: A forthcoming report from the Canadian Council for Chief Executives calls the visa, imposed in 2009 to curb bogus asylum claims, an impediment to reinvigorating the relationship between Canada and Mexico. , according to Hamilton Spectator. The report by one of Canada's most influential business groups will be made public exactly one week before Prime Minister Stephen Harper begins a bilateral visit with President Enrique Pe a Nieto in Mexico City. Canada's senior business leaders will urge the Harper government to lift its "intrusive" visa on Mexican travellers ahead of the prime minister's own visit there next week, The Canadian Press has learned. The report, by trade policy expert Laura Dawson, says until Ottawa can fix its own immigration system, it should simply allow Mexicans with a valid U.S. visa into Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
