Media Advisory

OTTAWA, April 10, 2006 -- Export Development Canada (EDC) will
launch a new loan facility to help Canadian small-
and-medium-sized-enterprises meet U.S. Customs-Trade Partners Against
Terrorism security guidelines.
The new program will be launched during a speech by Benoit Daignault,
Senior Vice-President of Business Development, to the I.E. Canada Conference
(Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters) on Tuesday, April 11 at
9:10 AM EST at the Renaissance Toronto Airport Hotel.
The theme of the speech is Trading with Your Neighbour: the New Price of
Trust. Canada and the U.S. have one of the most open, friendly and "trusting"
trading relationships in the world. What are the changes and challenges that
can disrupt the flow of goods and services between Canada and the U.S. and
drag down business results? The speech will emphasize ways to adapt to new
U.S. requirements for more border security in trade, including EDC's new loan
facility to help smaller businesses make this happen.
WHAT: Trading with Your Neighbour: the New Price of Trust
WHERE: Renaissance Toronto Airport Hotel
801 Dixon Road
Toronto, Ont.
