Each year, CCSPA members have a unique opportunity to network with government speakers from Health Canada, Environment Canada and Industry Canada. This Interface gives delegates the opportunity to pose questions to and network with the people making the legislative and regulatory policies that affect their companies. We also have political speakers providing unique perspectives from Parliament Hill. This year, the Interface was held April 26-28, 2010, at the Marriott Hotel, Ottawa, Ontario. Our meeting was an outstanding success. Tony Clement, Minister of Industry, and Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health, as well as over 36 government and elected officials attended our government breakfast.
