Description
Classically, embassies focus on government leaders, channeling their representations through the foreign ministry. The Canadian Embassy in Washington has been distinctive in seeking to influence not only the U.S. State Department and the White House, but also the various Cabinet Secretaries and the thousands of senior officials in the U.S. government. The Embassy goal is to 'partner' with as many like-minded Americans as possible, as these American voices are the most effective in achieving mutually desirable outcomes. In 2004, to facilitate wide partnership, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade created the Advocacy Secretariat at the Embassy. This article details the purposes and activities of the Secretariat. **********
