Saturday Forum | The Global Financial Crisis and Trade Protectionism: The Implications for Canada

This forum examines how US public and private debt, and the global financial crisis, have contributed to a rise in trade protectionism — creating new obstacles for countries seeking to expand their markets in tough economic times. This forum also discusses the implications of increased protectionism for Canada, and possible Canadian policy responses.
