Mr. Speaker, the world is changing rapidly. The United States, the world's largest economy, is fundamentally reshaping all its trade relationships, causing major disruption and upheaval for Canadians. It is time to transform our economy from one that is reliant on a single trading partner to one that is stronger, more self-sufficient and resilient to global shocks.
To these ends, Canada and Alberta share the same ambitions: diversify our export markets, make Canada an energy superpower and build a stronger, cleaner, more independent and more competitive economy.
