MND's 2003 trip to Washington, D.C.

In January 2003, Minister of National Defence John McCallum travelled to Washington, D.C. to meet with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

This section contains the archival folder of briefing material prepared for the Minister's trip. These files are held at Library and Archives Canada but as of yet do not appear on the online catalogue.

Canada Declassified has excerpted three documents specifically related to Iraq: A briefing note and speaking points for the minister, and a backgrounder on Canada-US relations that had been prepared in advance of a November 2002 presentation to Cabinet by the Canadian Ambassador to the United States, Michael Kergin.
