A statement from Kenney’s office says the trip, which starts Monday and continues until next Sunday, will promote the government’s work to drive investment, expand Alberta exports and get pipelines built.In Washington, he’s set to attend National Governors Association meetings along with Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Quebec Premier Francois Legault.
It says Kenney and Moe will deliver a joint presentation to the Wilson Center Canada Institute, a U.S. global policy forum. He’ll also meet with the United States Chamber of Commerce, the American Petroleum Institute, the American Enterprise Institute, and the School of Advanced International Studies.
“I will be discussing the future of NAFTA and the construction of pipelines, like Line 3 and Keystone XL, while in the U.S. capital,” Kenney said in the statement. Ford, meanwhile, has said he will be unveiling Ontario’s new trade strategy with the United States in a bid to get around “Buy American” policies.
