“We will keep trading with more countries around the world. Our trade with countries other than the United States is up 17 percent, which is a record. Our ports in Vancouver and St. John's also moved record amounts of cargo.”
“Mr. Speaker, we are going to continue to focus on trade diversification. I would like to share some facts for those that are watching at home. Non-U.S. trade is up by 17%, which is a record in 2025. Fact number two is that the Port of Vancouver moved 170 million metric tons of cargo, which is the highest amount in the port’s history. That is more shipments to China, Japan and South Korea. Let us go to the other side of the country. The Port of St. John’s just reported a 30% jump, which is another historic record. This is how we build Canada strong and open opportunities for workers across the country.”
