ABBOTSFORD (NEWS1130) – Abbotsford’s MP has a big new job on his hands in the federal cabinet. Ed Fast is now Canada’s international trade minister.
It’s no simple job given the fragile global economy, but Fast says he is up for the challenge.
“I think what I bring to the table is a Western prospective. I understand some of the challenges business faces in trying to export our resources, our goods, [and] our technology.”
Fast says they are in process of negotiating significant trade agreements with the European Union and India.
He is confident BC is well represented in the cabinet with James Moore, John Duncan and Alice Wong alongside him.
