These conferences take place alternatively in each coun- try, bringing together British and Canadian parliamentarians, public officials, academics, representatives from the private sector, graduate students, and others. The organizers focus on issues of immediate concern to both countries. One of the main endeavours is to stimu- late and publish research in each subject under discussion. The pub- lications listed at the end of the book demonstrate the wide range of topics covered by recent Colloquia. The Colloquia are supported by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade in Canada and by the Foreign and Com- monwealth Office in the United Kingdom. The conferences are or- ganized by the School of Policy Studies at Queen’s University on the Canadian side; and by the Canada-UK Colloquia Committee on the British side, from which an executive board, the Council of Manage- ment, is elected annually. The first Colloquium, attended by some sixty distinguished partici- pants from both countries was held at Cumberland Lodge in Windsor Great Park in 1971 to examine the bilateral relationship.

Once again, I would like to thank the Institute for putting this together and Henry King for bringing such an esteemed group back to Cleveland and to Case Western. Henry proves the separation-of-six theory, but I think he has it down to two or three. If you know Henry, you are only two or three people removed from anybody in the world. And I think that's especially true with our two panelists who have come from quite interesting backgrounds to the topic, and I think he has found truly experts.
