Fedeli in the U.S. capital to talk business

A pro-active trade and investment mission.
That’s how MPP Vic Fedeli describes his upcoming trip this weekend to Washington, DC with Premier Doug Ford.
He says they’re meeting with the National Governors Association and holding a Canadian-American Business Council Roundtable, so it’s all about strengthening their relationship.
Ontario’s Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade Minister says promoting the region is a given where ever he travels.
“Anywhere around the world I tout Northern Ontario and specifically Nipissing,” Fedeli says. “I always end up with a local story from one of our manufacturers or exporters, whether it’s maple syrup or mining products, they get a taste of northern Ontario.”
He points out the U.S. is Ontario’s single greatest trading partner.
“We want to make sure we don’t take this important trade relationship for granted and we’re working on a renewed U.S. strategy and that does involve northern Ontario companies,” Fedeli says.
The trade mission runs tomorrow through Sunday.
