The following is excerpted from a 15 November 2012 news release by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada.
The Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, participated in an event today in Delta, British Columbia, as part of a week-long series of national outreach activities featuring some of Canada’s most iconic brands and products. Minister Fast highlighted British Columbia’s renowned wood and wood products as among many provincial exports that will benefit from a Canada-EU trade agreement.
“Our government is committed to creating jobs and growing the Canadian economy,” said Minister Fast at Acorn Sawmill, a division of International Forest Products Limited (Interfor), one of the West Coast’s largest producers of quality wood products. “Key to these efforts is opening new markets, such as the EU, that appreciate the iconic products and brands that Canada has to offer—products that we as Canadians are proud of. A comprehensive economic and trade agreement with the European Union will bring benefits to various sectors of B.C.’s economy, including our wood and wood products industry.”
