John Roth will discuss megatrends for the millennium, including the movement toward global free trade, the impacts of the Internet Revolution, and the need for Canadians to make the transition to the new economy.

Mr. Roth will describe how the Internet is accelerating free trade by empowering all companies to become global companies, and he will explain how Canadian “national” companies must take advantage of this opportunity or risk extinction. He will also address the megatrend of human resources becoming far more valuable than natural resources, and the need for the federal government to urgently deal with this reality because talented people are continuing to leave Canada.
