P. Smith particularly heartened by the focus on innovation and sustainability

Yesterday, The meeting offered a distinctive chance to share perspectives on the current status of our bilateral relations and pinpoint opportunities for shared development and collaboration.

I was particularly heartened by the focus on innovation and sustainability, as we examined methods to utilize Alberta's abundant natural resources alongside the technological capabilities of the United States to foster a cleaner and more prosperous economy for future generations. Additionally, I was able to emphasize Alberta's dedication to reconciliation and the crucial role that economic partnerships can play in promoting Indigenous self-determination and prosperity.

I am optimistic that our joint efforts will produce concrete advantages for our constituents as we work towards establishing a more interconnected, resilient, and competitive North American market.
