Challenge and Opportunity. Council of Maritime Premiers. May 1991. 28 pp.   A discussion paper on Maritime Economic Integration. (English and French)

In 1991, one of the most significant accomplishments of the Council of Maritime Premiers was the release of this this widely read publication. In March of that year the Council committed itself to discussing with Maritimers the idea of Maritime economic integration. In this discussion paper, the Council puts forward a vision, guiding principles and strategic goals for a strong and integrated Maritime economy. These visions, principles, and goals define what economic integration could be, and this paper puts forth the initial list of opportunities produced from this integration. The sections of this document include: maritime economic integration, an overview; removing the barriers; working together; and agenda for the future. This resource and the Maritime Forum which followed were the first milestones in a long journey for the Council, which at the time was aimed at working together to meet the challenges of the 1990’s.
