Canada-United Kingdom Inter-Parliamentary Association (RUUK)
From 15 to 17 May 2023, the Canada–United Kingdom Inter-Parliamentary Association (RUUK) hosted a delegation of four United Kingdom parliamentarians who were in Ottawa as part of a week-long mission to Canada. Led by Lord Purvis of Tweed, the cross-party delegation also included Mr. Andrew Percy, MP, Mr. Stephen Doughty, MP, and Ms. Anum Qaisar, MP. In support of the delegation’s objective to deepen trade ties between the two countries, RUUK organized a series of meetings and roundtable sessions with over 20 Canadian parliamentarians, experts, and civil society organizations. These included roundtables on trade; the economic empowerment of women and youth; shared foreign affairs priorities; and engagement with Indigenous peoples. The delegates also met with the Honourable Anthony Rota, the Speaker of the House of Commons, and Greg Peters, the Usher of the Black Rod. In addition, they attended Question Period and conducted a site visit to the Centre Block of Parliament, currently undergoing renovations as part of the Long-Term Vision and Plan for the Parliamentary Precinct. The delegation then continued to Toronto for the second leg of the visit.
