A Letter from the President

It is my pleasure to present to you the work and findings of thisSummer's Junior Team Canada (JTC) mission to Colombia. The

success of this mission can be measured by the connectionsmade, market intelligence gathered, cultural ties created andpartnerships strengthened. And by all these measures, our missionwas a success, through building capacity for economic andcultural ties.

It was fitting that on the heels of Canada's recent Free TradeAgreement with Colombia, the first trade mission sent out toColombia wasn't a jet full of CEOs, it was Junior Team Canada. OurJTC Ambassadors, young leaders from coast to coast to coast,represented their communities and Canada as a whole in a way

that truly strengthened Canada's brand in Colombia. Their work can be found in the following

pages, but above all, their leadership will continue to grow and impact each of theircommunities.

From seeing CSR leadership first-hand through Talisman Energy's work with the Cruz Roja deColombia, to seeing Canada's infrastructure expertise impacting Bogota's growth, fromworking with Canadian finance leaders strengthening Colombia's banking to seeing howinnovative partnerships impact indigenous communities, JTC ambassadors were able to seeCanada's potential in Colombia and promote Canadian capabilities in key economic anddevelopment sectors.

Through seeing the work of Genivar at the Dona Juana landfill site, JTC Ambassadors wereable to see first hand the work that the Canadian Commercial Corporation is doing helping

Canadian firms utilize their expertise in world-class infrastructure projects. The ColombianSecretariat for Infrastructure described planned projects ranging from transportation - airports,seaports to defence vehicles and water hygiene systems all of which are significant marketopportunities for Canadian companies particularly with the Free Trade Agreement now inplace.

A special thank you to Talisman Energy, a national founding partner and to so many supportersin communities across Canada governments, community organizations, citizens andbusinesses. Your faith in Canada's next global leaders is very much appreciated.

Best Wishes,

Terry Clifford CMPresident Founder

Executive Summary

From July 12 to the 20, Global Visions Junior Team Canada (JTC) Ambassadors travelled toBogot as part of an economic and development mission to strengthen bilateral relations. Withrapid economic growth and increased security, Colombia is gaining momentum and isbecoming one of the safest places to do business in Latin America. Colombia takes pride in itshigh national security, flexibility, and strong long-standing democratic framework.

JTCs mission to Colombia was well positioned, as it followed Prime Minister Harpers visit toCartagena for the Summit of the Americas. The Ambassadors reiterated the Prime Ministersexpressed satisfaction at the growing commercial andinvestment ties between the two countries in the wakeof the recently ratified Canada-Colombia Free TradeAgreement (FTA). Junior Team Canada set out withmandates of over 50 Canadian companies, withinseveral of Colombias prominent sectors, including fromnational partner Talisman Energy, to gather marketintelligence, foster key contacts and promote brandCanada in Colombia.

JTC met with a diverse group of local and internationalleaders who have exposed them to the complexColombian world of politics and business, as well as thevibrant culture and warm hospitality. During the week,the team had meetings with Talisman Energy Inc. (JTCshost in the country), the Canadian Embassy, and theCanadian-Colombia Chamber of Commerce in Bogot.On the weekend, JTC took a trip to the timeless Salt

Cathedral of Zipaquir; enjoyed an Amazing Race at the historic Plaza de Bolvar organized byvolunteers from the Cruz Roja Colombiana (Colombian Red Cross) ; and scaled up thebreathtaking Monte Monserrate all to experience Bogotno culture first hand. JTCs nationalpartner, Talisman Energy, alongside the Cruz Roja Colombiana, its community partner, broughtJTC to see first-hand how CSR is changing lives in the department of Vicada by providinghumanitarian assistance to indigenous groups.

JTCs mission came at a pivotal time forCanada in Colombia, riding the wave of PrimeMinister Harpers visit earlier this year and therecently ratified FTA. This momentumamplified the importance of the mission,

giving our team of young leaders a uniqueopportunity to feel the pulse of the Colombianmarket. A diverse team from all across Canada, working with over 50 Canadian partnersforged strong connections with the movers

and shakers of the Colombian economy.

From oil and gas leader Talisman energyspromising CSR programs to Scotiabankspromising inroads into Colombian finance,from Genivars pioneering landfill project tothe Canadian Commercial Corporation thathelped them navigate the bid, Junior TeamCanada experienced and promoted whatCanadians do best. At a time whenColombias growth and stability are everincreasing, Canadas companies are findingit to be a a market in which we can truly

shine.

Mining and Oil & GasColombia remains well endowed with mineral and energy resources, and is the proud owner ofthe worlds largest open-pit coal mine. By 2014, the country plans to extract over 1 millionbarrels of oil and gas per month. Despite this lucrative potential, a largely untapped resourcereserve still remains.

Colombias significant oil and gas deposits were left largely underexploited due to securityconcerns posed by guerrillas in the past, but after improved security situation under theleadership of President of lvaro Uribe and later Juan Manuel Santos, the exploration andexploitation of gas and oil deposits have been continuing to develop. Ecopetrol and PacificRubiales Energy Corp., control the two largest shares of Colombias gas sector. Canadiancompanies operating in Colombia include Talisman Energy, a world leader in upstreamoperations as well as Corporate Social Responsibility With Canadas strong oil and gas

expertise and the recently implemented Canadian Colombian Free Trade Agreement, Canadais poised to maintain the largest stake in the oil and gas sector, which currently stands at 49%.

Talisman Energy A Case Study in World-Class Social

ResponsibilityJTCs national partner, Talisman Energy Inc., which is a global leader in the upstream oil andgas sector. Their headquarters are located in Calgary, Alberta and the company operates inseventeen countries creating value for their investors through successful operations and thedevelopment of its global asset base. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is paramount toTalismans success and that it is genuinely concerned about environmental issues and people.In Colombia, Talismans strong CSR track record has truly given it a license to operate in thecountry. Many projects have been initiated to help local and indigenous tribes across thecountries that Talisman Energy operates in, which JTC Ambassadors got to see first hand.

JTC learned that Talismans decisions are based on core values that align with its internationalbest practices in the oil and gas industry. The CSR is embedded in these core values and it isa major area of focus for Talisman. According to Amy Jarek, CSR has several benefits for

Talisman: it engages the stakeholders, supports local operations, propels businessdevelopment, increases access to capital, and provides benefits for the local communities.Owing to its socially responsible practices, Talisman is recognized as a partner of choice forgovernments and other energy companies.

Global Vision is proud to have Talisman Energy as its national sponsor because of its strongbeliefs and values in corporate social responsibility with strong emphasis on human andenvironmental ethics. Talisman has shown true commitment to developing Canadian youth intostrong leaders through opportunities of leadership development on many levels and givingyoung Canadian leaders an opportunity to showcase their performance on international level.

Talismans Operations In Colombia

In Colombia, Talisman has operated for over a decade in eleven blocks throughout the Llanosregion and has been the leader in shale gas exploration. In recent years, Talisman has boosted

its spending and has made several exploration discoveries. It has also acquired severalpartnerships, including those with Pacific Rubiales Energy, Ecopetrol, and Hocol. Apart fromthis, in 2010, Talisman purchased 40 per cent of BP Colombia, now called, Equion. This wasundoubtedly a major step in Talismans expansion in the Colombian market and contributed tothe companys current financial success. Colombia provides a lucrative interest for Talisman asa result of the significant growth and development that the country has experienced over thelast five years. Chris Spaulding, Country Manager for Colombia, has an optimistic futureforecast for Talisman operations in Colombia. This is supported by Colombias 75% increase inoil and gas production; the 127% increase in foreign investments, as well as the countryscurrent stable fiscal and legal regime. A major challenge that Talisman experienced in the pastwas the civil unrest and threat of guerrillas, such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC),operating near communities where Talisman projects are situated. Recently, however, thesecurity situation has dramatically improved with advancements in security in the country anda world-class security team both in-field and in Bogot for Talisman. As a result of improvedsecurity and stability in Colombia, Talisman Energy predicts that South America will becomeone of the major regions of operation globally with Colombia as a regional leader.

Talismans Chosen CSR Partner: The Colombian Red Cross

The Colombian Red Cross (CRC) has been active in Colombia for almost a century and is

present in every department of the country.

Talisman Energy has seen the value of this first-ratelocal leader and formed an effective partnership with the CRC to give back to the communitiesin which they operate. This initiative is called Project Planting Smiles. Through this programwith the CRC, Talisman Energy provides essential hygiene products and supports the CRC inproviding medical services to disadvantaged local indigenous communities. The NationalExecutive Director of the CRC, Walter Cotte Witingan, and his team are grateful for Talisman

Energys commitment to corporate social responsibility.JTC had a unique opportunity to see this first-handTalisman hosted a group of JTC Ambassadors for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see how Talisman and the CRC arechanging lives in the department of Vichada.

JTC flew to isolated the rural town of Puerto Carreno, thecapital of the department of Vichada, near the border withVenezuela. This area was severely affected by flooding in2010. As a result, conditions for the local indigenouspeople, which make up 86.7% of Vichadas population,worsened. The CRC is improving the living conditions onestep at a time with the help of Talisman Energy. The CRCdelivers healthcare services to the indigenous people

f r o ms u r r o u n d i n gareas of PuertoC a r r e n othrough their

Mobile Health Units (MHU). The CRC health team iscomprised of a doctor, dentist, psychologist, nurse,and volunteers. Mobile Health Units providecommunity health, education, prevention of illness,promotion of health, surveillance, and psychosocialsupport. Throughout the day, JTC uncovered

information about each of these aspects by visitingevery station within the health unit to talk to patientsand frontline medical personnel. The visit alsoexposed JTC members to the traditional dances,language, and cultural traditions of the indigenouspeople. Having the opportunity to meet with thechief of the indigenous tribe, a first-nations memberof the JTC was able to facilitate an invaluableexchange and comparison of aboriginal culturalelements between the Americas with the end goal of

expanding the cultural views of both societies.JTC observed how the doctors and dentists delivermedical care to patients in small rooms with minimal portable equipment. JTC listened tovolunteers explain the prevention and treatment of diarrhea which is an easily preventablehealth risk that is common throughout the area due to waste management issues.

JTC also interacted with the indigenouschildren with CRC volunteers by playingeducational games and exchangingtraditional children sing along in Spanishand English. The indigenous people

graciously shared their culture with JTCand Talisman Energy employees byperforming a traditional dance andpreparing a meal for everyone. The teaminterviewed several of the indigenouspeople, including both of the chiefs, anddiscovered that they were very pleasedwith the work of the CRC and TalismanEnergy.The local citizens were grateful forTalisman Energys strong commitment tocollaborating with the CRC to improve the

living conditions within their community.JTC members appreciated having the opportunity to participate in this partnership and see thepositive outcomes first hand. JTC heard from both Talisman Energy employees and CRCvolunteers about the results of this excellent corporate social responsibility partnership. WalterCotte Witingan hopes that more Canadian companies will partner with organizations like theCRC to expand this unique model that benefits all parties involved; the company, theorganization, and the community.

HealthcareWhen it comes to the health sector, Colombias pharmaceutical industry is rapidly growing.Nevertheless, major improvements can still be made in terms of information technology, patientrecords, infrastructure, and accessibility to insurance. Developing these specific aspectswould considerably increase efficiency, while also providing coverage for moreColombians.The federal government administers healthcare in Colombia. Income disparitieshave resulted in a

two-tier system. Affluent Colombians are able to access private healthcareservices in facilities referred to as "clinicas". Less fortunate rely on a combination of publichealthcare services provided by government hospitals and a collection of not-for-profitorganizations. There is a significant difference in the quality of services provided by privateand public healthcare providers. Most of Colombia's 44 million citizens rely on public

healthcare and are unable to afford private healthcare options.

The inefficient and deterioratingpublic system is stretched to the breaking point due to accelerating population growth.

The Colombian healthcare system experiences many challenges, which provideopportunities for Canadian companies offering solutions. Improvements in areas suchas information technology, patient records, infrastructure, and accessibility to insurancewould improve efficiency while expanding coverage for Colombians. Canada has manyindustry leaders who stand to benefit from these opportunities in Colombia.

Like Canada, health insurance is provided by the government of Colombia. However, it onlycovers the most basic services. Some Colombians receive additional insurance through theiremployer, as in the American health system. Affluent Colombians can buy additional privateinsurance to receive the highest quality of medical care at private health care facilities. Third

party organizations aim to bridge a growing divide between the public and privatehealthcare systems. The team visited theCentro Integral de Rehabilitacion de Colombia(CIREC), which is a non-profit organizationthat provides rehabilitation medical services toColombians. Their services include providingprosthetic limbs, rehabilitation services forland mine vict ims, and orthotics forColombians with congenital deformities.

Infrastructure and Capital ProjectsColombia is ambitious in wanting to modernize and build a competitive national infrastructure,focusing on development projects in Bogot, Medellin, Cali, Barranquilla, and Cartagena. Theinfrastructure improvements proposed under the new National Development Plan includingdoubling the number of two-lane intercity highways, upgrading old airports, and reviving railnetworks aims to hit 6% in annual economic growth. As part of the process, the government

intends to create one million new homes by 2014 and provide more cultivable land for itscitizens. The country has an instrumental opportunity to transform its infrastructure and in turnits economy, while attracting domestic investors, as well as international investors to financeinfrastructure projects. Juan Martian, President of the Colombian Infrastructure Chamberhighlighted that infrastructure deficit is perhaps the biggest obstacle to economic growth inColombia.

The process of awarding contracts through tender packages has become more transparentand secure. In terms of infrastructure, Colombia is increasing from roughly 1% to roughly 3%

per year (nine billion per year) in GrossDomestic Product. By doing so, Colombiahopes to increase its international standing inroads (ranked 68/140 in roads worldwide),while creating 6,000 km worth of new roads in

the next fiscal year (equal to the amount ofwork done in the last 25 years). When itcomes to railroads, Colombia is ranked110/140 internationally. To increase itsstanding, the country has recently approvedan infrastructure bill that allows privatecompanies to build infrastructure approvedby the government. A 2 billion dollar railroaddeal is awaiting approval. Situated near amining area leading from central Colombia tothe northern region of the country, it could

represent remarkable opportunity forCanadian engineering firms.

Junior Team Canada had the fortune of meeting with the senior vice president of Brookfield,one of Canada's largest asset management companies. Brookfields fund in Colombia is one ofthe largest infrastructure and private equity funds in Canada and represents it's expandingpresence in Colombia. They have a very aggressive and ambitious project to design andconstruct all accessible roads throughout all of Colombia. This is done with an infrastructurefund that closed in early September with approximately $360 million in commitments fromBrookfield and a number of leading Colombian institutional investors. Brookfield also haspotential plans in building railways throughout Colombia along with improved publictransportation that will be much more accessible than the system that is currently in place.

A Canadian Infrastructure Success Story GENIVAR and the Dona Juana

Landfill

GENIVAR is a company formed when two engineering services firms, G.B.G.M Ltd. and LesConsultants Dupuis, Ct Inc., merged in 1987. Since then, this Canadian Consultation Firmhas emerged as the 6th largest in the world, a global leader with over 5550 employees,presence within over 100 cities and more than 35 projects worldwide. During the crisis of 1999,a massive explosion of deposited methane gas within the Dona Juana landfill caused 1.5

million metric tons of waste to flow into the local river. This influx of garbage and wasterendered the river contaminated and many local populations were devastated as a result. Thisincident prompted the Colombian government to conduct a thorough investigation and foundthat the sudden explosion with the combination of poor design and mismanagement resulted inthe contamination of the river. With the help of the Canadian Commercial Corporation,Canadian firm GENIVAR was awarded the bid of designing the future expansion andsuccessful operation of the landfill.

Upon hearing the news of a foreign companys takeover of operations, local were at firstskeptical however, GENIVARs vast experience proved to hold up Canadas reputation as aworld leader in waste management. Waste cells were covered with clay immediately aftertransportation and specifically designed piping systems were placed to collect the constantemission of methane gas, sensors were also placed in the cells to measure pressure andprevent future blowouts. Having received the contract to treat local water sources, GENIVARconstant efforts to treat toxic liquid run-off allowed the locals to notice a significant

improvement as odors lowered and once heavily contaminated river to return to its naturalclean state.

With the astounding growth rate of Bogot, GENIVAR strives to produce long-term solutions tothe increasing amount of waste produced. This includes a new city wide recycling project andproposed compost and waste sorting facility. GENIVAR is also planning an expansion to thewastewater management facility producing new standards for removal of metals and chemicalsfrom the local waters and aligning itself within the regulations required of Canadian facilities. By

constantly engaging and surveying local communities, distributing textbooks, and hiring localcitizens for research assistance, GENIVAR truly hopes to instill the knowledge needed for theyears to come.

GENIVAR showed Junior Team Canada Ambassadors the first-hand impact of Canadian

Companies overseas. Each process of the landfill was thoroughly explained and demonstratedfrom start to finish. Junior Team Canada was fortunate to be able to participate in such activityand witness firsthand the environmental concerns that GENIVAR is able to take control. Thepassion and knowledge shown by GENIVAR was astounding and they truly showcased what aCanadian company is capable of doing.

FinanceAs a result of the stability in Colombias economy, foreign investment quadrupled between

2002 and 2008. Specifically, Colombia's banking sector is attractive for foreign banks lookingfor growth potential, considering only 60% of the population use banks. Colombia has changeddrastically over the past three decades, and with the recent enactment of the free tradeagreement (FTA) with Canada, foreign direct investment has substantially increased theinflow of foreign investment into the country and especially Canadian interest in financial

sector. Most notably, the 51% acquisition of Colpatria Bank by Canadian financial leaderScotiabank is a true testament to this fact.

Junior Team Canada met with president of Colpatria, Santiago Perdomo Maldonado and VicePresident of Commercial Banking Jorge Rojas Dumit, who gave exclusive insight to Canadas

growing role in Colombias expanding financial economy. With plans to gradually increase theirshares of Colpatria to 100%, Scotiabanks main goal is to diversify their income on aninternational scale.

Corporate social responsibility(CSR) is a signifacant issue infinance in Colombia due to pastmis takes made by fore igncompanies. It is important todevelop strong relationships withlocal community before making

drastic acquisitions. Scotiabankh a s c o n n e c t e d w i t h t h ecommunity and took time to reallyunderstand the needs and wantsof the local people and how it isgoing to help them. It hascontinued Colpatrias tradition ofoffering scholarships to students at universities while also supporting major charity initiatives

such as the United Way. Although security issues have been a problem in the past, Mr.Perdomo stressed the fact that the security situation has changed drastically since the 1980s.It is safe for investors to walk around the streets without fear of assault. Executives and theirfamilies being kidnapped, ransomed, or threatened is no longer a threat that has stopped somany skilled and competent individuals from conducting business in Colombia.

In speaking with Colpatria executives, Junior Team Canada found that risk management andexposure in the Colombian financial industry work in a similar fashion to that of the CanadianMarket. However, there are differences between the two markets. For example, in the Canadianmarket, when a loan exceeds a certain amount predetermined by financial institutions, it getstransferred to investment banking in an attempt to better deal with over exposure and create amore specialized underwriting process. In the Colombian market, most large loans simply getpooled into the arena of commercial banking.

Agriculture and EnvironmentColombia is one of Canadas largest sources of agricultural imports in Latin America, and thisposition is expected to be maintained in the future. After the signing of the FTA, 85% ofCanadas agricultural-food products, including wheat, barley, peas, lentils, beans, and beefhave immediately become duty-free. This is a benefit to Canadian agricultural exporters whoface a current average tariff rate of 16.6%. Ratified in August 2011, the Canadian ColombianFree Trade Agreement serves as an important element in the Government of Canadas strategyto diversify its exports and capitalize on emerging Latin American economies. Canadassuccess in completing FTA with Colombia ahead of many other countries, including the UnitedStates, provides it with a significant competitive edge in entering one of Latin Americas largest

developing markets and maintaining strong economic ties.

Another development in this sector includes the re-modification of land areas once controlledby guerrilla and paramilitary groups into cultivable land. Though accounting for only a smallportion of land, Colombias rural areas possess a great biodiversity and an abundant amount offood and energy resources. It is here that Colombias enormous wealth and great potential lie.

The JTC members also had the opportunity of meeting with Felipe Laserna Serna, foundingpartner and CEO of CIGSA. CIGSA has close ties with Canada by importing wheat and cornfrom the Prairies and exporting these products through the ports in Vancouver and Halifax.
