The roundtables are being hosted by the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs and will be held in Islamabad, Pakistan, March 2 - 5, 2007. 

Anne will chair the roundtable on resource management in a federal system based on her first-hand knowledge of the Canadian federal/provincial system through her political career including her time as Minister of Natural Resources and later as Deputy Prime Minister of Canada. She will be speaking about federal provincial relations in Canada as outlined in our constitution and on issues such as equalization, ownership and management resources in a federal system.
