Meeting with the European Parliament's Delegation responsible for Relations with Canada
By videoconference
Canada-Europe Parliamentary Association (CAEU)
Mr. Scott Simms, M.P., President, CAEU; the Hon. Percy E. Downe, Senator; the Hon. Larry Bagnell, P.C., M.P.; and Mr. Luc Berthold, M.P., participated in a videoconference call with the European Parliament’s Delegation for Relations with Canada (D-CA). D-CA participants included Ms. Stéphanie Yon-Courtin (Chair, France), Mr. Javier Moreno Sánchez (Vice-Chair, Spain), Mr. Rasmus Andresen (Germany), and Mr. Ondrej Kovarík (Czechia).
The main topics of discussion were the surge or “second wave” of COVID-19 cases and how governments in Europe and Canada are responding; the European Commission’s new proposed Pact on Migration and Asylum; the European Union’s proposed €1.8-trillion seven-year budget and pandemic recovery plan; the recent Speech from the Throne and the State of the European Union address; and the impact on the Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement of both Brexit and the Cypriot Parliament’s vote against the Agreement’s ratification.
The videoconference call concluded with preliminary discussions about the annual interparliamentary meeting, which has been postponed from November 2020 to the spring of 2021 – at the earliest – as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
