DescriptionThe United States' next ambassador to Canada is likely to be a close friend of U.S. President Bush.

CTV News has learned that Washington has officially asked Ottawa to give its blessing to naming David Wilkins the new ambassador to Canada.

Wilkins is a longtime Bush family friend and top Republican fundraiser.

Wilkins is the Speaker of the state Legislature in South Carolina and is described as a fiscal and social conservative.

He has always lived in South Carolina, and it's unclear how much he knows about Canada-U.S. relations.
