Video Transcript AI Summary
Thank you for the kind introduction and invitation to speak here. The World Economic Forum is invaluable to the global conversation between leaders in politics, business, and civil society, especially given the ongoing global economic instability. We are grateful for your leadership and vision.
Canada's recent electoral success, transitioning from a minority to a majority government, is a testament to our ability to navigate economic challenges. Our success during the international financial crisis, attributed to strong leadership and a sound regulatory and business environment, positions Canada as a model for addressing current global economic difficulties. I look forward to sharing my perspective on the global economy and Canada's contribution to overcoming these challenges.
Speaker 0: Your visit today comes just eight months after your resounding victory in national elections. Indeed, I think much to the envy of many leaders here in the audience and elsewhere. You managed actually to increase your standing in parliament passing from a minority to a majority government for the next several years. Canada is recognized for having navigated the waters of the international financial crisis in a very impressive manner. Your own personal leadership in this regard, together with a sound regulatory and business context for which Canada is so well known, have served the country very well.
Prime minister, we look forward to hearing your impressions of the current state of the global economy and, in particular, the role and contribution that what many people call the Canadian model can make to improve the the current economic challenges facing much of the industrialized world. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome prime minister Harper of Canada.
Speaker 1: Merci beaucoup. Thank you, professor Schwab for that, kind introduction. I also, want to thank you particularly for the invitation to speak here that you extended to me earlier this year. But more than that, professor, you have made the World Economic Forum an indispensable part of the global conversation among leaders in politics, business, and civil society. And in the face of continuing global economic instability, the opportunity that this gathering provides is now more valuable than ever.
So I know everyone here joins me in thanking you for, in the service really of the common good, your leadership and your vision.
