The
Standing
Commission on North American Prosperity
The Standing Commission
on North American Prosperity is an
united effort of distinguished individuals from Mexico,
Canada and the USA to provide sound
economic and social policy guidance
to the political leaders of the three countries for the future
prosperity of all peoples of North
America.
In
the aftermath of NAFTA and the SSP initiatives, a vacuum presently
exists in developing a vision for North American prosperity.
The lack of such a vision jeopardizes previous
achievements in building strong economic
ties across North
America
made during the past 15 years.
The
mandate of the Commission is to develop and promote a clear
understanding of the natural, human and financial capital of Mexico, Canada
and the USA
and devise a strategy to optimize the outcomes of integrating the
utilization
of these recourses to the benefit of all North Americans while respecting the sovereignty
of each country.
The Commission will meet 3 times a year and will provide “ A
North American
Prosperity “ White
paper to the leaders
of the three countries upon conclusion of each session.
The
Commission will be responsible for initiating events across Mexico,
Canada and the USA to create a positive dialog regarding teh future of
North America and the interrelations of Mexico, Canada and the
USA.
The
Commission will be composed of up
to 200 members from the 3 countries. The
Commission will be governed by a Board of Trustees of 10 members per
country
and an Executive Committee of 2 members per country. The daily
operations will
be conducted by a Secretariat headed by the Commission Executive
Director.
Membership on the Commission is by invitation only.
The
Commission Executive Committee may invite distinguished
individuals, corporations and institutions
to become Associate Members and participate in the work of the
Commission.
