Last week, the Prime Minister and a team of 5 ministers had a very productive 4 days in Davos, Switzerland at the 2016 World Economic Forum. It was their opportunity to promote Canada to business, community and political leaders from around the world. The Canadian delegation had a packed few days of meetings, reaffirming our government’s new approach to engagement and pitching Canada as a place to invest – and delegates from around the world were paying attention.
