January is Tamil Heritage Month, and it was a pleasure to join the Tamil Heritage Month celebrations yesterday.

Trip to India

During my trip to India, one thing was clear: Canada can supply what India wants. That means new trade, new investment, and new prosperity for Canadians across our economy.

Trip to China

January 19, 2026

In China, we reset the relationship with the world’s second largest economy– reopening channels for Canadian exports, unlocking access to a $4B canola market for our farmers, and establishing new partnerships in energy, forestry, clean technology, and advanced manufacturing.

Our efforts in China have also strengthened people-to-people ties for the more than 2 million Canadians of Chinese descent, who will soon benefit from visa-free travel.
