International Leadership by a Canada Strong and Free
In this fifth volume of the Canada Strong and Free series, the authors are calling for Canada to reclaim its role in the international arena – for Canada to lead and inspire the world. The world is wide of course, and Canada’s role in it is multi-faceted. Nevertheless they believe that by concentrating on three priorities in foreign policy Canada can significantly advance its national interests and international influence. These key tasks must be: to champion and practise freer trade; to advance our relationship and deepen our influence with the United States; and to give effective help to people living in nations less fortunate than our own.

Canada and the liberalization of air transport markets over the Atlantic
Last April, Canada and the United Kingdom announced an "Open Sky" agreement which, when concluded, will represent another major step in the liberalization process of the air transport market between the two countries. The agreement was reported to provide for unlimited so-called "Fifth Freedom Rights" for both countries to enable Canadian airlines to carry traffic to and from third countries through the U.K. The same reciprocal rights are to be available, of course, to British carriers through Canada. It remains to be seen whether the European Commission, which has successfully contested the rights of the European Union members to negotiate air bilateral deals independently of Brussels, will choose to challenge this agreement.
