Gov. Scott in Canada to Boost Trade, Jobs

Gov. Rick Scott is in Canada this week, hitting Montreal and Toronto, promoting trade with America's neighbor to the north and investment in Florida.

He is joined by Enterprise Florida President Gray Swoope and a delegation of Florida business leaders, and promises an "important economic development announcement" coming on Wednesday from Montreal.

Combine the impact of two-way trade, investment and tourism, and Canada is Floridas No. 1 economic partner, so it makes sense that this would be one of my very first trade missions. Over the next week, I will meet with Canadian officials and business leaders to discuss opportunities for increased trade, tourism and business that will benefit both of our economies," Scott said.
