Premier Tim Houston will promote Nova Scotia in New York and Boston this week and next.

“Now, more than ever, we have to diversify our economy. We have to go where the buyers are,” said Premier Houston. “Nova Scotia has a lot to offer, from high-quality products like seafood and resources like critical minerals. We hope to increase our trade opportunities and put an end to President Trump’s unlawful tariff conflict so we can get back to business.”
Premier Houston continues to have discussions with other premiers and the federal government on efforts to remove interprovincial trade barriers, improve labour mobility and diversify to new markets.
