Finance and Enterprise Minister Ted Morton will meet with investment and financial experts in New York and Toronto, October 12-15. He will provide an update on Alberta’s economic and fiscal position and promote investment opportunities in the province.
“It is important that we continue promoting Alberta and sharing our story, particularly in the wake of the global economic downturn,” said Morton. “That includes telling people about the opportunities in the oil sands and what we’re doing to ensure they’re being developed responsibly.”
While in the two major North American financial hubs, Morton will deliver speeches at the Canadian Association of New York and the Economic Club of Canada.
Morton will highlight investment opportunities in the province, as well as Alberta’s role in responsible energy development and North American economic and energy security. He will also attend numerous meetings with leading financial institutions in both Toronto and New York.
The estimated cost for the trip for Morton and his executive assistant is approximately $5,000.
The Government of Alberta has a clear plan for a strong economic recovery. The Way Forward will bring Alberta back into a surplus position in three years by trimming government spending; using cash reserves to protect key programs; continuing to invest in public infrastructure; and ensuring that our province’s industries are competitive and continue to attract investment to provide jobs and prosperity.
