Should Canada stay in the group of seven
Of course it should. This article asserts that G7 membership benefits Canada, and vice versa, and it outlines the overall contribution of the Summit to the process of global governance. The question of reducing or enlarging the Summit membership is also considered, with special emphasis on China and Russia as candidates for a new G8. The article concludes that the present G7 is important for the coordination of global policies, and that while reform is dearly required, changes in membership clearly are not.
