As the leaders of the G20 gathered in Toronto for their summit, a
smaller group representing the business
communities of the G20 countries also met to offer
their advice on the issues on the leaders’
agenda.
The B20 group, as the business meeting was called, was comprised
of about forty CEOs and heads of business
associations who had been selected by their
governments to serve as a sounding board in
advance of the leaders’ meetings.
B20 delegates met with Prime Minister Harper and with the G20
