This article aims to comparatively highlight those aspects that, in our view, could mark a difference in the scope of the policies implemented by Stephen Harper’s conservative government in terms of the design of his international economic policy and the role Canadian corporations have in it.

It seems evident that the poor image left by Harper became an indisputable political asset for Trudeau. However, some issues the government inherited from its predecessor may be neither overcome nor fully rectified, as would be the case of the almost symbiotic relation taking place – at least since Chrétien’s government – between the government and Canadian companies. This means Justin Trudeau will need to resort more and more often to absolute political pragmatism, and find new issues and battles to champion, as is the case with environmental issues. For now, this is far off from reproving mining companies, but instead internationalism is used to recreate a space for dialogue that places Canada in multilateral forums. Cet article se propose d’analyser les premiers changements que le gouvernement libéral, sous l’administration du premier ministre Justin Trudeau, a mené au cours de sa première année en ce qui concerne les questions liées à l’environnement et l’activité minière. Cet article vise comparativement à mettre en évidence les aspects qui, à notre avis, pourraient marquer une différence dans le cadre des politiques mises en œuvre par le gouvernement conservateur de Stephen Harper en termes de conception de sa politique économique internationale et le rôle que les entreprises y tiennent. Nous observerons particulièrement la manière dont le Canada et ses entreprises minières pèsent sur les orientations prises dans ce domaine par les états latino-américains.Il est possible désormais d’analyser les actions menées par Trudeau après une première année au gouvernement. Il semble évident que la mauvaise image que Harper a laissé derrière lui, est devenue un atout politique incontestable pour Trudeau. Cependant, certaines politiques héritées de son prédécesseur, ne pourront être surmontées ni complètement redressées, comme c’est le cas de la relation quasi-symbiotique entre le gouvernement et les entreprises canadiennes. Cela signifie que Justin Trudeau doit recourir, de plus en plus souvent, à du pragmatisme politique, et trouver de nouvelles questions et batailles à défendre, afin de créer un espace de dialogue qui place le Canada dans les forums multilatéraux. |
