Having said that, there are a lot of people making a lot of money in Mexico these days. They just have to find a way to close the gap a little and make sure that people who work hard are being fairly rewarded in all sectors.

But with the Mexican economy and standard of living growing at a decent rate, the last thing we want is for them to turn to China, South America, and Europe to supplement their growth. Canada could also use investment in Mexico as a way to promote positive changes to their corruption and justice system issues.
Could that be what this 'meeting' is all about?

Given that it would benefit both Canada and the United States to see Mexico grow.....why wouldn't you talk about ways to invest?
