Darrel Pearson comments in CCCA Magazine’s feature story, “Caught in the crossfire: A trade war survival plan for in-house counsel.” Darrel says that in international trade today, “We are experiencing actions and reactions all over the world which are having a domino effect for Canadian trade and Canadian production, importing and exporting...the levels of volatility and the frenzy taking place is unequalled in anything I have seen before.”
Darrel also comments on rules of origin and how Canadian businesses can look to the future. “The challenge for Canada, Canadian companies and General Counsel indirectly is to rise to the occasion and diversify customer bases so that this doesn’t happen again...there are opportunities inasmuch as the U.S. is going to be targeted with countermeasures by other countries so we have to open our eyes and see where the opportunities lie.”
“Caught in the crossfire” is on pages 20–23 of the Fall 2018 edition.
