VOANews.com : Bush Declares Canada Eligible to Bid on Iraq Contracts

"U.S. President George Bush says Canada will be eligible to bid on a second round of major reconstruction contracts in Iraq. The move is apparently aimed at mending relations between the North American neighbors.

Mr. Bush made the surprise announcement Tuesday, following a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin on the sidelines of a regional Americas' summit in Monterrey, Mexico."

Just goes to show how far Bush holds a grudge. Bush waited for Chretien to leave office before giving a show of "cameraderie".

Funny to see that Wolfowitz had excluded Canada for "security reasons" but now Bush gives Canada the presidential (if not royal) pardon.
