Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has expressed his support for the recent trade deal between Canada and China, praising former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney for his role in the negotiations.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Moe commended Carney for his “tireless efforts” in securing the trade agreement, which is expected to bring significant economic benefits to both countries.
The deal, which was announced on Monday, will see Canada increase its exports of agricultural products, seafood, and forestry products to China, while also opening up new opportunities for Canadian businesses in the Chinese market.
Moe highlighted the importance of this trade deal for Saskatchewan, a province heavily reliant on exports, particularly in the agriculture and resource sectors. He stated that the agreement will provide a much-needed boost to the province’s economy, creating jobs and increasing prosperity for its residents.
The premier also emphasized the potential for future growth and collaboration between Canada and China, citing the two countries’ strong economic ties and shared values.
Moe’s praise for Carney comes as no surprise, as the former Bank of Canada governor has been a vocal advocate for increased trade with China. In a recent interview, Carney stated that the trade deal is a “win-win” for both countries and will help to diversify Canada’s trade relationships.
The trade agreement has also received support from other political leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who called it a “historic milestone” in Canada-China relations.
While some critics have raised concerns about potential human rights issues in China, Moe stated that the trade deal is not a political statement, but rather a mutually beneficial economic agreement.
As the trade deal moves forward, Moe expressed his confidence in Carney’s ability to continue to play a key role in strengthening Canada’s relationship with China and promoting economic growth for all Canadians.
