“Over the past several weeks, I met face-to-face with some of North America’s largest investment and trade leaders to promote Alberta as the best place in Canada to invest.
“In my meetings with potential and existing investors, I highlighted how our government is laying the foundation for sustainable economic growth and driving investment and job creation in Alberta. I was encouraged by the genuine excitement expressed for our strong plan to renew Alberta’s economy.
“We targeted Illinois, Minnesota, and British Columbia because they collectively contribute more than $70 billion in trade with Alberta. The Port of Vancouver is crucial to expanding investment and getting Alberta products to international markets. Also key to market access are pipelines to tidewater, which I advocated for.
“While promoting Alberta as the most competitive investment destination in Canada, I also met with officials from key trading markets, such as India and Latin America, to discuss ways to expand trade with the Pacific region.
“These valuable missions are restoring investor confidence in Alberta. In the days to come, I will continue to work tirelessly to spread the message that Alberta is open for business.”
