Foreign Trade Minister In Chatham-Kent

Foreign Trade Minister Ed Fast will meet with local business owners to discuss their global strategies.

Fast, along with Lambton-Kent-Middlesex MP Bev Shipley, will have a round table discussion with stakeholders in Wallaceburg at 11am on Saturday.

Shipley says CK is a reliable source for exports, particularly in agriculture. "We do what we say we're going to do and we're recognized for quality. So whether it's for food, or agriculture, even manufacturing and production, we have a lot of great industries."

Some industries that will be represented include agriculture, auto parts and building materials, just to name a few.
