Our premier is leading a delegation of premiers to a National Governors Association meeting in Washington over the weekend. The Council of the Federation delegation will include premiers from Quebec, New Brunswick, Ontario and Alberta. Scott Moe says the NGA meeting presents a significant opportunity for premiers to strengthen relationships in the United States. Moe says they will be advocating for an even stronger trade relationship between the two countries and further integration of North American supply chains. While there, Moe will be meeting with a number of members of the U.S. Administration and Congress along with attending bilateral meetings with U.S. Governors representing states of strategic importance to Saskatchewan.
In 2018, Saskatchewan exported $16.9 billion worth of goods to the United States representing 55 per cent of our total exports. We imported $9.9 billion worth of goods from the U.S.
