Secretary MacGuigan,
On behalf of the Australian Government and the Australian people welcome to Australia, the Prime Minister wishes to extend his greatest apologies on not being able to attend this meeting as he is in Washington D.C.

Australia and Canada in the past have not always seen eye to eye and like any relationships there were bumps along the road however when Australia and Canada have a common enemy, interest or goal to acheive or defeat, it is then Mr Secretary, the best of our relationship is shown.

The past years are history and as we move forward with solidarity in repairing this damaged relationship, we do not forget our mistakes we have made in the past, we learn from them and try to mend them.

In this meeting on which you as our esteemed guest has joined us, we wish to discuss possible trade links between Australia-Canada, how we can further enhance and share our culture and a youth/student exchange program between Australia-Canada.

Senator Evans,

On behalf of the Canadian Government, I thank your people for the warm welcome to Canberra. I understand Prime Minister Keating's reason for his absence, and I'm sure we'll get along well without him.

I agree that our two nations have issues to work out, and it is my utmost concern to work them out.

As for the proposed student exchange program, where would you like to start? I would like to propose exchange programs between Australian and Canadian universities and colleges, such as Queens University in Kingston or Algonquin College in Ottawa.

Mr Secretary,
We are supportive of the proposed exchange program to take place in Queens University and Algonquin College in vice versa the Canadian students will attend the University of Sydney and the Chisholm Institute of Technology.

The Australian Government would like to propose the composition of the exchange students:
Australian Proposals
 

- 21 Australian Medical University Students will attend Queens University.
- 23 Australian Technological Students will attend Algonquin College.
- Canadian Medical Students will attend the University of Sydney.
- Canadian Technological Students will attend the Chisholm Institute of Technology.
- Australia proposes the Cultural Center of Australia at Queens University.
- Australia proposes the Cultural Center of Canada at the University of Sydney.
- Australia & Canada will divide the costs of the exchange program.


The Australian Government believe that the exchange of medical and technological students will both advance and improve both the Canadian and Australian Medical and Technological industries.

We further believe that the exchange of a Cultural Center will bolster our long standing cultural relations as Commonwealth partners and further enhance the rich diversity of both Australia and Canada.

That is excellent new to hear Mr Secretary.

Moving on with discussion, Mr Secretary, the Australian government would like to further our relationship with the proposal of trade with the Australian Government importing Beef to Canada and Canada supplying Australia with boilers and mechanical appliances.
