Casino Nova Scotia Hotel, Lower Water Street, Halifax
On Tuesday, November 9, 2004, AIMS celebrated it 10th anniversary with a banquet, which featured speakers such as former United States Senator and Secretary of Defense, William Cohen and former Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney.
Canada’s relationship with the United States has at times appeared strained since the events of September 11, 2001. Canada’s position on the war in Iraq, the softwood lumber dispute, the BSE crisis in the cattle industry, security lapses and other issues have all served to highlight the importance of our relationship with our closest ally and greatest trading partner.
What is in the future for this relationship? The evening offered a rare glimpse into Canada’s relationship with the United States and helped AIMS celebrate ten years of contribution to the Canadian public policy debate.
Excerpts from some of the evening’s remarks:
AIMS first ten years – AIMS President Brian Lee Crowley
Greetings from the Province – Premier John Hamm
On Leadership – excerpts from the talk of the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney
