Canadian delegation heads to Washington to meet American Officials, Governors
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 02/24/17 -- Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat
Canada and the United States have the most successful economic relationship in the world, supporting millions of middle class jobs on both sides of the border.
The Honourable Scott Brison, President of the Treasury Board, and the Honourable Andrew Leslie, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Canada-U.S. Relations), are continuing Canada''s outreach in Washington, D.C., today and tomorrow, where they will meet with key U.S. officials including state governors.
The Washington meeting between Prime Minister Trudeau and President Trump on February 13, 2017, affirmed Canada''s longstanding commitment to close cooperation between our two countries. The National Governors Association Winter Meeting provides another important platform to engage key U.S stakeholders.
Minister Brison will also take this opportunity to meet with Mick Mulvaney, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to discuss regulatory efficiency and cooperation.
During their visit, which includes a luncheon round table hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Minister Brison and Parliamentary Secretary Leslie will discuss the importance of the bilateral relationship, and how to deepen cooperation given that millions of good, well-paying jobs on both sides of the border depend on that relationship.
