Book excerpt: The principal objective of this report is to examine Canada's shrinking presence in the Asia-Pacific region in light of the trade & investment opportunities there, and to make recommendations for a new Asia-Pacific policy aimed at reinvigorating Canada's ties with the region. The introduction reviews the work of the Subcommittee on International Trade, Trade Disputes & Investment in preparing the report. Chapter 2 examines recent trends in economic growth, reform, & integration in the region, as well as some of the trade opportunities in specific sectors, and makes the case for increased trade & investment. The final chapter outlines the Subcommittee's recommendations in three categories: removing barriers to trade & investment; creation of an environment to enable pursuing closer economic ties; and the federal role in helping the Canadian business community succeed in the region. Appendices include background information on Asian economic reforms, intra-regional trade agreements in Asia-Pacific, and the Canadian trade & investment relationship with the region. It also includes dissenting opinions about the report.
