Department for Business and Trade: Canada
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has met with the Agent General of (a) Ontario, (b) Quebec, and (c) Saskatchewan since taking his position.
Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander
The Secretary of State for Business and Trade has not met with the Agent General of Ontario, Quebec or Saskatchewan since taking his position. Canada is a valued partner for the UK and provincial level engagement is an important part of our bilateral relationship. Our trade relationship – worth £25.8bn in the year to quarter one 2024 – is underpinned by regular engagement, including at the provincial level.
