Trade Counsellor: Deputy Head and Canada Ambassador

trade counsellor: Lyons, most recently, has been Canada ambassador to Afghanistan, a posting that gives her credibility in conflict zones, according to Globe and Mail. But prior to that is where her résumé gets really interesting. Ms. She served as deputy head of mission in Washington, as chief strategy officer of the Department of Foreign Affairs in Ottawa and as a trade counsellor for high-tech industries in Tokyo. Does this high-level appointment reframe Canada relationship with Israel and the Middle East Perhaps, but it depends on what policy changes follow the appointment. Few words give Israelis goosebumps more quickly than high-tech. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
