Finance Minister Tendai Biti said Canada should lift sanctions on Zimbabwe because they are not serving anyone. “The use of sanctions and isolation, I think they’ve outlived their usefulness,” he said. Biti is scheduled to meet Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird tomorrow. Spokesman for Baird, Rick Roth said the meeting will provide Baird with an opportunity to express Canadian views on the need for continued political reform in Zimbabwe, including a referendum on a new constitution, free and fair elections, and the respect for human rights.
