We had a series of far-ranging discussions which examined several different ways of dealing with the problem, and eventually found him a set of satisfactory answers. However, it is always best to have this discussion before you start to expand, when more options may be available.</font></p></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="NewsBox" style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 20px; PADDING-TOP: 20px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #336666 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><p><font size="2"><strong><a name="ref30"></a>Canada-EU Relations</strong></font></p> <p><font size="2"><img height="117" alt="" hspace="5" src="http://keytocanada.ca/Newsletter/T_Baker_web.jpg" width="88" align="right" vspace="5" border="0">The Conference Board of Canada recently held a workshop titled “EU Enlargement and the Canada-EU Relationship.” The workshop provided several excellent speaker presentations and an insight into our commercial relations with Europe, which in terms of investment in both directions is very significant indeed.
