Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Longueuil—Charles-LeMoyne for her question and her hard work.
Expanding and diversifying trade between Canada and fast-growing African economies are a priority for our government. Trade between Canada and Ethiopia totalled $170 million in 2018.
We announced that we will be entering into negotiations towards a foreign investment promotion and protection agreement with Ethiopia, which will help further increase trade and investments for businesses in both countries.
