Alberta United Conservative leader says no confusion sowed on India trip
CALGARY — Alberta Opposition Leader Jason Kenney says he didn’t sow confusion on his recent trade trip to India, and says the contacts he renewed there can only help the province.
Kenney also mocked Trade Minister Deron Bilous for saying his office is now doing “damage control” with Indian officials to make sure Kenney’s role and the provincial position on trade issues is clear.
“I don’t think they would know who to call,” Kenney said Monday.
“In the three-and-a-half years they’ve been in office, neither Premier (Rachel) Notley nor the trade minister has bothered to visit India, the world’s fastest-growing, second-largest market. I have 20 years of deep connections in that country.”
