(Industry Canada)

The Honourable Tony Clement, Minister of Industry, will arrive in Tel Aviv tomorrow [Saturday] to begin five days of meetings that will focus on Canada–Israel trade relations and developments in the field of water technologies.

“This year marks the 60th anniversary of relations between our two countries and the 12th anniversary of the Canada–Israel Free Trade Agreement,” said Minister Clement. “I am hoping that our visit may lead to even closer cooperation and serve to demonstrate to companies here that Canada is a good place to do business.”

One of the highlights of the trip will be the Minister’s attendance at the International Water Technologies, Renewable Energy and Environmental Control Exhibition (WATEC). The Minister is scheduled to address WATEC on the significant initiatives Canada has undertaken, both domestically and internationally, in the field of water technologies. Read more here.
