Canadian and American delegates
to the North American Competitiveness Council

Canadian members: All 10 Canadian members of the NACC are also members of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE). This is hardly surprising, considering that the CCCE is responsible for writing the template for the Security and Prosperity Partnership and has been present at every tri-national meeting to discuss the shape and form of continental integration.
