Media, March 14, 2025
The Canada-UK Chamber of Commerce congratulates Mark Carney on his election as Leader of the Liberal Party, and Canada’s 24th Prime Minister.
Mr Carney is well known to the Canada-UK business community, having been Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, publicly addressed our members on a number of occasions in the UK and for his private charitable activity, particularly in education.
Canada and the UK being close allies with a long history of co-operation, share many values, including democracy, freedom, the rule of law and in King Charles, the same Head of State. The UK is also one of Canada's largest trading partners. With Canada's desire to increasingly diversify trade, the Canada-UK Chamber with over 100 years of successful network building is well placed to assist in this process, and we look forward to working with Mr Carney at this critical and pivotal moment for Canada and the United Kingdom.
Wayne Lee, President, Canada-UK Chamber of Commerce
