De la région indo-pacifique à l'Amérique latine, nous nous sommes employés à ouvrir de nouveaux marchés aux entreprises 🇨🇦.

While I’m flattered that the Leader of the Opposition thinks I look young, the real issue on the table is advancing Canada’s trade priorities.

Thats why I’ve been busy diversifying our trade portfolio — for the benefit of Canadian workers, businesses, and industries. 🇨🇦

Let’s keep going!

The One Canadian Economy Act has received Royal Assent.

With it, we’ll break down more barriers to internal trade and build big things faster across the country.

Thanks to all the Members of Parliament and Senators — from all parties — who got this done, together.

Today in Paris, I hosted my fellow G7 Trade Ministers for meaningful discussions on strengthening global trade.

We talked about how the G7 can drive economic growth, create good jobs, and build long-term prosperity through a stable, transparent, and rules-based trading system.
