Canada has its eyes on Asia and the lucrative trade markets in the Indo\u002DPacific region as Justin Trudeau heads to the region for a week.

“In today’s world people are talking about the economy first,” he said.

“It will just fall on deaf ears,” said Bessma Momani, a political-science professor at the University of Waterloo. “There’s a strong feeling in the Indo-Pacific of ‘Look, you need us more than we need you, so stop moralizing and preaching to us.” By 2030, it will be home to two-thirds of the global middle class, having lifted millions out of poverty through its economic growth. And that population growth is labour Canada needs, especially with its aging population said Hyder.

“It’s something we have been stressing that if you really want to lead the world on climate change, you maintain that support by making sure there’s an economic growth strategy attached to it,” Hyder said. But Kirton, who leads the G20 Research Group, said if Canada can find a way to transition away from fossil fuels than so can others.
