Day 1; Negotiations

Yesterday we officially began the negotiations in the different ministries. The summit is off to a great start. Today, the discussions continue as the issues are substantiated and the Ministers begin their deliberating.

The Canadian Ministers are proceeding quite well in their discussions and representing Canada superbly. The first day of negotiations helped establish some concrete agenda topics, and each Ministry is well on their way to drafting their individual communique.
