Co-hosts MP Joyce Murray (Vancouver Quadra) and MP Scott Brison (Kings Hants), who serves as the Liberal International Trade Critic, invited a diverse background of participants from government, business and stakeholder communities to attend today\u2019s event.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we heard today from participants is that government needs to do more to support small and medium sized Canadian enterprises as they try and unlock the vast business opportunities in China\u201d said Ms. Murray. \u201cWhen government plays a supporting role, linking the business community, more can be accomplished together than these companies would be able to accomplish on their own. We saw this with the success of the Team Canada trade missions to China that were led by former Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien and resulted in several bilateral relations agreements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s forum acted as a practical sharing and networking opportunity for participants that will set the stage for future meetings and prepare participants for future trade forums such as March\u2019s conference in Shenzhen. The forum included the Canada China Business Council, the Hong Kong Canada Business Association, the Canadian CleanTech Fund, the Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance as well as many other organizations and representatives.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Brison explained that \u201cChina is focused on greening its economy. This represents a tremendous opportunity for Canadian clean-tech workers and businesses.\u201d He continued by saying that \u201cgiven the role of the state in China\u2019s economy, we need our federal government to play a much larger role in helping Canadians realize these opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-30-<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Office of MP Joyce Murray:\u00a0 (613) 992-2430<br \/>\nOffice of MP Scott Brison:\u00a0 (613) 995-8231<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Immediate Release February 4th 2010 OTTAWA \u2013 Liberals are working on Parliament Hill today by hosting a forum on how government and business can work together to unlock trade and export opportunities in a sustainable China.
