Our Government’s top priority remains jobs and economic growth. Today’s announcement demonstrates our commitment to ensuring the continued success of western Canadian businesses and entrepreneurs in the apparel and textile sector.

Our Government is pleased to invest in increasing export market access for the western Canadian lamb industry. By further strengthening this industry, we are helping producers create economic growth and long-term prosperity.

As a young woman in politics, it also gives me great pleasure to see additional female cabinet representation here today. You know, these are very high levels of representation for women around the cabinet table and I think that that's something that's very important to me.
