OTTAWA — Caribbean leaders gathered in Ottawa for a two-day summit this week are urging the Canadian private sector to invest more in the region.
Their pleas came as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Thursday that Canada is creating a new temporary worker program for the fisheries industry.
"Why this meeting is so critical is to send a signal to the Canadian private sector that they have to be more aggressive." In Wednesday's meetings, leaders from across the Caribbean spoke about how Canada can help create a safer, greener world, with a focus on climate change, reforming financial institutions and securing Haiti from a gang crisis.
"Now it's time to really dig in, on further concretizing and expanding on more ambition," Trudeau said.
