Choosing Perfect Fashion

Free trade is very important in the world economy. It allows everyone to concentrate on their specialization and do their best. It also encourages a healthy competition in the supply of goods and services, which motivate the people to develop a more improved, less-expensive goods and services. These improvements result in rise in production and output, and translate into more advanced levels of material comfort for the vast majority of those participating in the economy.

Peter Nygard, owner of a leading fashion company in Canada, wrote in 1982, a strategic position paper to initiate a free trade. This resulted in his appointment as chairman to the advisory committee on future Canadian long-term industrial strategy. Afterwards, Nygard recommended to the United States to negotiate a Free Trade Agreement (FTA). It eventually became the groundwork of agreement for Mexico’s entry in December of 1992. It was known as the North American Free Trade Agreement or NAFTA.

From 1984 to 1986 and in 1989, Peter Nygard did not stop pushing for the principle of free trade. He endorsed it to various community and international leaders and groups. First, in 1984, he was chosen to be the co-chairman of a 15-member task force assigned to make recommendations to the federal government about long-term industrial strategies for Canada’s textile and clothing businesses. Next, in 1985, Nygard was selected to the International Trade Advisory Committee or ITAC. Here, they formulated and advised the government of the necessary things about trade, which included the US – Canada bilateral dialogues.

In 1986, Peter Nygard was appointed as Chairman of the Apparel and Fur Group of the Sectoral Advisory Group on International Trade or SAGIT. He assisted with principles and policies of free trade. After three years, he became a founding member of the Canada – USSR Business Council. This group was the leading voice for trade between the two countries.

Nygard’s business philosophy was always about globalization and liberalization of trade; but he believed that the two can be achieved with new philosophies and realistic government policies. By allowing the creation of a link of relationships between people in different countries, free trade leads people to look at one another as allies in a process of economic progress rather than as enemies, hence, it promotes peace.
