 We have this morning and in the last few days been talking a lot about Asia-Pacific and Asia being a huge focus for Canada. I mean it is very much my belief and I think a belief shared by all the premiers around the table from coast to coast to coast that it is Asia-Pacific that is the future of Canada and if we can focus on Asia-Pacific we can create thousands and thousands of jobs, enable the creation of thousands and thousands of jobs all across this country and you know we all talk a lot about families well families need jobs so Asia-Pacific is really central to to our agenda and making sure that we're seizing the opportunities that are available. We want to put together a joint trade mission with the federal government for all premiers to go to Asia in particular China and India and we want to make sure that we are encouraging the federal government with the participation of the provinces to conclude more trade agreements with Asia. Canada doesn't have a single trade agreement with any Asian country and so we need to there are some there are some pending there's some underway the federal government has made a specific effort to want to conclude one with India we want to encourage them in doing that but the fact is we don't have any yet. I want to thank Premier Clark for her strong leadership on this particular issue Canada's greater engagement with Asia and the opportunities that exist there hers has been a clarion voice for this for some time and leadership here at the Council of the Federation from Premier Clark has been certainly very strong and very helpful with respect to the the Canadian Asian file. I have been really delighted at the extent to which we found agreement around the table because if there's one unifying theme of the meeting so far it has been jobs and the economy how do we make sure we can strengthen our national economy enable the creation of jobs so that people have money to put food on the table for their kids make sure they're not going to school hungry and in that's different provinces have been talking about different barriers to job creation and economic development throughout but really it's been a job creation focus and and most at most centrally it's been Asia Pacific and the opportunities across the Pacific for Canada
