The Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, today met with his Global Commerce Strategy (GCS) Advisory Panel to discuss the next phase of the most ambitious trade expansion plan in Canadian history and ways to ensure the GCS continues to benefit Canadian workers, businesses and families.
“Deepening Canada’s trade and investment ties with the largest, most dynamic and fastest-growing markets in the world is a key part of our government’s pro-trade plan for jobs, growth and long-term prosperity,” said Minister Fast. “Opening new markets and helping increase Canadian exports around the world generates benefits for Canadian workers, businesses and families. A refreshed Global Commerce Strategy will build on Canada’s leadership to date on the world stage in support of free and open trade and position our country for long-term success.”
