QUESTION PERIOD — Ministry of Internal Trade
Market Diversification
February 24, 2026
Thank you for that answer.
Are the benefits robust enough to impact the course of export diversification outside the United States? Are other markets being considered?
Yes, senator, I believe so. Our efforts to diversify our exports and our bilateral trade relations with Mexico are off to an impressive start. As I mentioned — and some of your colleagues have a lot of experience in this area — the process takes time so that deals between private companies can be finalized.
Last week, I was in Mexico. The Prime Minister is heading to Japan, India and Australia. All of these efforts are being made to keep reaching out to other markets at the same time. It's an ongoing process.
Thank you, minister.
I am certain that you will want to join me in thanking Minister LeBlanc for joining us today.
We will now resume the proceedings that were interrupted at the beginning of Question Period.
Senator Kingston, I believe you have approximately three minutes left, if you would like to answer the last question posed. Thank you.
