The Canadian Services Coalition (CSC) is a membership based organization designed to provide a strong and cohesive voice to the Canadian services industry. The main objective of the CSC is to liberalize services markets throughout the world and to remove trade and investment barriers for the Canadian services sector as a means of increasing the opportunities available to Canadian companies. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has taken on the role of Secretariat to the CSC.
The Honourable Sergio Marchi, Chair of the CSC, is a former Minister of International Trade and
Ambassador of Canada to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva and therefore provides
a wealth of experience and knowledge regarding international trade and the multilateral system.
The current members of the newly-established CSC are: Bell Canada; Bennett Jones LLP; Federal
Express; Manulife Financial; Purolator; Sun Life Financial; Scotiabank; the Canadian Life & Health Insurance Association (CLHIA); the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME); the Certified General Accountants (CGA) Association of Canada; and the Information Technology Association of Canada (ITAC).
The CSC encourages Canadian companies and associations from a variety of sectors in the services industry to join.
