PRIME MINISTER ANNOUNCES NORTH AMERICAN LEADERS' SUMMIT IN CANADA

June 15, 2007
Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced that Canada will host the North American Leaders' Summit on August 20 and 21, 2007 in Montebello, Quebec.

"We share a continent with the United States and Mexico, and our people, our economies and our security are closely interconnected," said the Prime Minister. "This summit provides an opportunity to discuss issues of shared concern with my Mexican and United States counterparts and to promote cooperation on measures that are central to the quality of life of Canadians and all peoples in North America."

U.S. President George Bush and Mexican President Felipe Calderón will join the Prime Minister in Montebello, Quebec. The last meeting of the leaders of Canada, the United States and Mexico took place in Cancun, Mexico on March 31, 2006.

Within the context of the summit, the leaders will review progress in their ongoing cooperation under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, which was established to foster collaboration for a more secure and more economically dynamic North America. In Cancun, the leaders identified five priority areas for special attention in the coming year: strengthening competitiveness in North America; North American Emergency Management; Avian and Pandemic Influenza; North American Energy Security; and North American Smart Secure Borders.
