Workers here in Oakville West make products that are in demand around the world. In Question Period, I asked the Minister of International Trade how Canada’s new trade agreement with the United Arab Emirates will help local businesses reach more customers. Once the agreement takes effect, it will lower tariffs on 99% of Canadian exports to the UAE. That will make it easier for Canadian businesses to compete in our largest trading market in the Middle East. #QuestionPeriod #HouseofCommons #ParliamentHill #Ottawa #OakvilleWest
