Interprovincial Trade Speaker's Bureau

The International and Intergovernmental Relations Interprovincial Trade Speaker's Bureau is a service to Albertans.

Part of our philosophy of helping businesses and individuals is to help them become more familiar with the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) and the Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA), what they are, and what they can do for Albertans.  We hope to help businesses improve interprovincial trade and mobility or deal with problems, or perhaps, prevent problems from becoming insurmountable.  Alberta internal trade representatives and representatives from other Alberta sectoral departments will be happy to set up a workshop, seminar or keynote presentation to your group.

These talks are designed for adult organizations or groups with an attendance of at least 15 individuals at meetings held in Alberta.  Some of the groups to whom we have made these presentations include:

  • Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties
  • Alberta Urban Municipalities Association
  • Alberta New Media Calgary Chapter
  • Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta
  • Certified General Accountants Association of Alberta
  • Rotary Club of Sherwood Park
  • Treasury Management Association of Alberta
  • Economic Society of Northern Alberta
  • Alberta Construction Association
  • Council of Canadian

Depending upon the timing, International and Intergovernmental Relations trade representatives can address virtually any interprovincial trade issue that is of interest to Alberta businesses.  Our most common presentations on the AIT and TILMA include:

  • Overview
  • Procurement
  • MASH
  • Labour Mobility
  • Dispute Resolution
  • Status
  • Challenges
