Innovation, Science, and Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says he and his American counterpart have agreed to meet quarterly to reinforce cross-border collaboration. Speaking in Washington Thursday after wrapping up a two-day trip, Champagne said more frequent discussions with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo will help the two countries better co-ordinate post-pandemic recovery plans.
OTTAWA -- Innovation, Science, and Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says he and his American counterpart have agreed to meet quarterly to reinforce cross-border collaboration.
“Now what we need to do is co-ordinate and I leave Washington with a sense that our American colleagues want to co-ordinate better and see the benefits for jobs, for growth, for prosperity if we work closer together and I think that’s a big win for Canada.” Asked whether there was any indication of adjustments to President Joe Biden’s proposal to provide tax credits for electric vehicles made in the U.S., Champagne said the meeting was “helpful” on this front.
He added that the Canadian government is proposing alternative solutions to produce a “win-win” outcome.
