Atlantic Premiers Heading to Washington

The Atlantic Premiers will travel to Washington, D.C., next week to highlight the trade relationship in meetings with U.S. political and business leaders.

All 13 provincial and territorial leaders will be in the U.S. capital to directly demonstrate to American leaders the benefits of a stable North American economic partnership.

There will be an emphasis on the importance of Canada to the security of the United States, and the benefits that the continental economic partnership has brought to both countries. They will stress Atlantic Canada’s deep historical ties with New England and the northeastern U.S. states and the significant integration of their economies.
