Next week, a pair of Canadian cabinet ministers head to Washington to meet with top Biden administration officials and U.S. companies to talk national and economic security, and the beauty of integrating North American interests.
Coming a few weeks before U.S. President Joe Biden visits Ottawa, the trip by Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Defence Minister Anita Anand to Capitol Hill is aimed at focusing American minds on the Canadian market.
The industry minister also wants Canadian companies and their CEOs to aim higher as international competition heats up to get ahead of the green technology curve. “It’s not just me. It’s all of us together to realize that we have the key ingredients to succeed in the economy of the 21st century.” A spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa said “one of the strengths of the U.S.-Canada relationship is the regular dialogue between leaders at the highest levels of our governments on how best to reach shared goals in the bilateral relationship,” and the ministerial visit is part of that “continuous dialogue.”
In 2022, he travelled to Japan three times and South Korea twice, as well as to Germany, Belgium and other European countries, to pitch Canada’s advantages. “This was a deliberate choice, which will have long lasting, I would say, dividends for generations to come of workers. My thing is not just to create jobs for now, but for the future.”
