Minister Petitpas Taylor to advocate Canada-United States trade in New Hampshire


OTTAWA, May 2, 2018 /CNW/ - Canada and the United States share one of the most mutually beneficial economic relationships in the world. Canada is the number one market for most U.S. states and is among the top three customers for almost all states. The Government of Canada is committed to strengthening this important relationship and to creating new opportunities for workers and businesses on both sides of the border.

As part of these efforts, this week the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Health, will visit Manchester and Concord, New Hampshire, where she will attend a State Trade Official Lunch Roundtable and deliver remarks at a reception with political and business leaders hosted by David Alward, Consul General of Canada in Boston. Minister Petitpas Taylor will also meet with Senator Jeanne Shaheen and the New Hampshire?Canada Trade Council. The Minister's remarks will stress the importance of NAFTA as an engine of growth and prosperity for New Hampshire.  

While in New Hampshire, Minister Petitpas Taylor will visit the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute to learn about its work in engineered tissues and tissue-related technologies. She will also meet with Jeffrey Meyers, Commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services to discuss the opioid crisis in North America. Before returning to Canada, the Minister will make a stop in Boston for a meeting with Marylou Sudders, Secretary of Health and Human Services in Massachusetts.

A modernized NAFTA will strengthen and increase this prosperity."
