Sask. to benefit with Canada-China uranium export agreement
The signature of Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister has put the Canada-China Nuclear Cooperation Agreement into force, meaning good things for Canada’s uranium exporters and even better things for producers in Saskatchewan.
The agreement expands a 1994 pact on nuclear cooperation and has been in the works for more than a year.
In January, the prime minister completed negotiations on the protocol during a visit to China. Foreign Affairs Minister, John Baird, penned his name to the supplementary protocol in Beijing this week.
Canadian exports for uranium currently generate about a million dollars a year with the majority of those exports coming from Saskatchewan.
