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 8-10, 2008, at the Marriott Hotel, Ottawa, Ontario. Our meeting was an outstanding success with the Prime Minister and Ministers Ritz and Clement attending, as well as over 20 government speakers and our annual government breakfast.
