News Roundup

B20

Samantha Power / samantha@vueweekly.com
Businesses leaders from the G20 nations have been asked to attend a conference in advance of the G20 meeting in Muskoka, Ontario. The top business leaders from each G20 nation are being asked for their input on economic recovery, financial sector reform and trade.

The B20 has been organized by the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has sent invitations to each G20 nation to send two business representatives. In announcing the conference of business leaders Flaherty stated he hoped the meeting of ministers and business representatives would, "Enable business to play an active role in finding practical solutions to the global challenges we all face. I look forward to hearing their advice on how to get the global economy firmly on the road to recovery."

With issues of maternal health and climate change on the G20 agenda, civil society groups have wondered if their invitation was lost in the mail.

The B20 will be held in Toronto from June 25 – 26.
