As reported by the
Scotland Herald,
the Scottish Government has released the "Canada Plan", a comprehensive
plan to bolster its economic links with Canada. As part of the project
a "Team Scotland" headquarters will be established in Toronto with the
goal of tapping into to Canada's "key sectors" and strengthen ties
between the two countries.
"The new "Canada Plan" has taken almost two years to assemble and was
preceded by six ministerial visits to that country since the SNP came
to power in 2007."
"Scotland's External Affairs Minister, Fiona Hyslop, declined to
comment on the timing of the plan, insisting that the strategy remains
well-founded. "In a challenging economic climate it's as important as
ever that we nurture relationships and forge links with Canada for
mutual benefit," she told the Sunday Herald. "Scotland has strong
historical links with Canada and Canada is very important to the
Scottish economy and offers real opportunities in the key sectors of
energy, life sciences, food and drink, tourism and the creative
industries."
