Minister Day Oversees New Port Agreement
The Honourable Stockwell Day, President of the Treasury Board and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, today witnessed the signing of an agreement between Winnipeg's CentrePort Canada and Chongqing's Cuntan Port in China. This agreement between the two inland ports will support increased trade and investment in Canada and China.
"Our government has made impressive gains in our commercial relationship with China in recent years. In fact, China is now Canada's second-largest merchandise trading partner," said Minister Day. "CentrePort Canada is one of the key projects our government has supported through the Asia-Pacific Gateway. Today's announcement will make CentrePort Canada and the Asia-Pacific Gateway even more attractive to international business and investments."
