Alberta Premier Notley heading to Washington at month’s end to talk trade
CALGARY — Premier Rachel Notley is to head to Washington, D.C., at the end of the month to promote Alberta and highlight existing trade ties.
Notley says she plans to meet with as many policy-makers as possible to remind them that supporting Canadian business helps U.S. business.
“Trade with the United States represents a significant part of our economy and we need to make sure that those interests are protected,” Notley said Friday.
“There’s a pretty strong consensus among the premiers and the prime minister that probably the best way to do that is to get in front of as many people as we can to describe how much the relationship with Canadian business actually benefits American business.”
