This initiative aims to identify options for long-term bilateral co-operation, potentially leading to more stable and predictable economic relations between the two nations.
A new binational commission, led by McGill University, Johns Hopkins University, and the Centre for International Governance Innovation, is launching this week to explore the future of Canada-U.S. relations. Co-chaired by Lisa Raitt and Jane Harman, the commission will bring together senior leaders and policy experts from both Canada and the United States. Its objective is to examine options for long-term bilateral co-operation in areas such as trade, energy, critical minerals, defence, and technology. The commission plans to meet in various cities over the next year and a half, with a final report expected by late 2027. The launch events are scheduled for May 1 in Washington, D.C., and May 27 in Ottawa.
