Does Canada support a particular candidate city to become the permanent host for the FTAA Secretariat?
• Canada has been pleased with the efforts of each of the cities that have so far hosted the FTAA Administrative Secretariat: Miami, Panama City, and Puebla. • It is nevertheless premature to commit Canada’s support to any particular country’s or city’s candidacy this early in the process. • There remain many institutional questions, including the structure of a permanent secretariat, that need to be addressed before FTAA negotiations conclude. • Canada was pleased to receive the bid proposals submitted by candidate cities in accordance with the March 1, 2004 deadline established by Trade Ministers. • Canada will remain engaged in a constructive dialogue with our partners in the hemisphere on the best permanent site for an FTAA Secretariat.
