The Honourable Jim Carr, Minister of International Trade Diversification, will be traveling to British Columbia on December 6, 2018. While in BC, the Minister will explain how Canada’s Trade Diversification Strategy will help local businesses, entrepreneurs and would-be exporters expand into new markets, especially in the Asia Pacific through the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
The Minister will deliver a keynote address on the diversification imperative at the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade’s Energy Forum 2018. While in Richmond, BC, he will also meet with representatives from BC’s flourishing clean-technology industry to highlight increased investments in that sector.
“Canada is rapidly becoming the most globally connected economy on earth and the Fall Economic Statement contributes significant new tools and resources so that every exporter and would-be exporter can go global, tap the unprecedented number of markets that have been secured through Canada’s ambitious diversification agenda and create good middle-class jobs at home,” said Jim Carr, Minister of International Trade Diversification.
The Government of Canada is determined to make Canada the most globally connected economy and has set an ambitious target of increasing overseas exports by 50% by 2025. To support businesses of all sizes in that effort, the measures announced in the Fall Economic Statement will:
- provide resources to small and medium-sized enterprises to help them explore new export opportunities;
- enhance trade services for Canadian exporters; and,
- help Canadian innovators add value, succeed and grow their businesses.
