Harper will be on a panel with New Gingrich, his ideological buddy. 

 Ross is not part of the panel which is set up by the law firm, Dentons that Harper(not a lawyer) is affiliated with. Ross will address the panel. as a guest.  

Considering that Harper, or at least his son and wife, were part of the big push into the US to caterwaul about the Khadr settlement  is it anything but reassuring that he will be in DC at the time that NAFTA is being negotiated.
