    ¶1.   SUMMARY:  This cable transmits the Mission's FY 2006
    International Visitor Leadership Program slate.  END
    SUMMARY.

    ¶2.  The Mission Canada International Visitor Committee,
    composed of principal officers of Canada's seven constituent
    posts and Embassy Minister-Counselors for political,
    economic and public affairs, chaired by the Charg, met via
    digital videoconference on May 2nd to select Canada's slate
    of nominees for the FY 2006 program.  The twenty-eight

    principal candidates and twelve alternates represent
    emerging leaders from all of Canada's consular districts,
    from seven provinces and territories, from government,
    media, law enforcement, think tanks, higher education
    institutions, corporations, and non-profit organizations.
    Eleven of the principal twenty-eight candidates are visible
    minorities, twelve are women. Their proposed programs will
    support six priority Mission Performance Plan priorities.

    ¶3.  Nominating bio-data will be submitted via separate
    cables in EVDB format.  The post looks forward to
    collaborating with ECA/PE/V colleagues to offer them the
    kind of up-close, stimulating and balanced experience in the
    United States that has given past grantees a multi-
    dimensional, richer view of the United States.

    ¶4.  The nominees below have full country team approval.

    ¶5.  Canada's FY 2006 International Visitor nominees follow,
    grouped by relevant Mission Performance Plan Themes.
    Numbers at left indicate ranking. Those ranked numbers 1 to
    28 are principal candidates, and 29 to 40 are alternates.

    policies and public views on security and defense;
    international trade policies, especially those that affect
    Canada; health care and social security debates; energy
    policy; and environmental protection and conservation.  The

    making process.  Specific issues on which they might focus
