Experts urge Ottawa to seek new trading opportunities within the Western Hemisphere

A new report argues Canada is overlooking some of its closest economic opportunities—and they’re not across the Pacific, but just to the south. The Canadian Council for the Americas is urging Ottawa to complement its infrastructure agenda by building deeper partnerships in Latin America.

The message is clear: build value together, not just trade commodities.
