Maninder Sidhu: “This will unlock real opportunities for Canadian industry in sectors like clean energy, aerospace and mining.”

Every meeting at the G20 is a chance to open more doors for Canadian workers and businesses, and we are moving at speed to seize it.

Our partnership with (Turkey), as a NATO ally and strategic partner in the crossroads of Europe and Asia, has even greater potential and I am ready to advance it.

They (Canadian businesses) would get to the finish line, another state leader would swoop in, a trade minister would swoop in and make a call and billions of dollars of deals would be lost (to competitors).
