A multinational business agenda is driving the upcoming summit meeting of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, according to a document obtained through an Access to Information Act request in Canada.The memo shows a secondary focus of the leaders' meeting in Montebello,Quebec,Aug. 20-21, will be to prepare for a continental avian flu or human pandemic and establish a permanent continental emergency management coordinating body to deal not only with health emergencies but other unspecified emergencies as well. As WND has reported, President Bush, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexico's President Felipe Calderon will attend the third SPP summit.The document,obtained by Canadian private citizen Chris Harder,is a two-page heavily redacted summary of the ministerial meeting in Ottawa, held Feb. 23 between Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her counterparts,Canadian Foreign Minister Peter MacKay and Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa.The purpose of the Feb. 23 meeting in Ottawa was to set the agenda for the August summit.The Access to Information Act-obtained memo noted the nation's leaders intend next month to pursue the five priorities set at their second summit meeting in Cancun in March 2005:Strengthening Competitiveness
Avian and Pandemic Influenza
Emergency Management
Energy Security
Secure Borders
Of the five issues,the memo clearly states recommendations by the North American Competitiveness Council, or NACC,regarding competitiveness "took centerpiece" at the Feb. 23 meeting.Almost immediately,the memo says, governments"will need to begin assessing the potential impact of adopting recommendations made by the NACC and coordinating their response to the authors of the report."
