Saskatchewan keeping close eye on NAFTA negotiations
Talks over the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) are underway in Washington, D.C. and businesses in Saskatchewan have a player in the game.
Around 75 people are part of the delegation currently in the U.S. and for Larry Fladager, CEO for the Prince Albert Chamber of Commerce, if they can iron out regulations around wood pulp, it would be a win for Prince Albert.
“If it is an area of where there are issues, then let’s work out a deal for the people of Saskatchewan, Canada and all countries involved.”
Fladager says within the city, there are mixed feelings among business owners on how well NAFTA currently works. Some say the 23-year-old trade agreement needs change, while others are comfortable with the current rules and regulations.
