Premier Wall seeks to improve trade during Asia trip
Prime Minister Stephen Harper isn't the only Canadian leader in Southeast Asia right now. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall is on a three-nation economic and trade mission this week.
Wall wrapped up the Japanese leg of the trip over the weekend, and will tour the Philippines and Singapore before returning to the province on Thursday.
Wall says his focus is to seek new business and trade opportunities in one of the world's fastest growing import markets, and to say “thank you” for the ones that already exist.
“It's part of our growth plan” Wall said Sunday from Manila. “We know that it's the entrepreneurs of this province that are creating economic growth but government can set the right environment.”
