How to bring Mexico and Canada closer together?
Between Mexico and Canada is the United States; however, thanks to technology, which has advanced over the last two years, it is easier to stay connected and achieve a closer bilateral relationship.
Another way to be more connected has to do with reaching agreements, such as the one signed between Mexico and the University of Saskatchewan regarding student exchange.
What plans are there for the office in Mexico?
Depending on the result of the work carried out from now on, the possibility of increasing the staff will be analyzed, currently three people work, as well as opening more offices in other cities in Mexico.
We are doing things right, we have already had meetings with Bimbo and Trimex, two of the largest millers in the world.
Saskatchewan is more than agriculture, we have rare elements, oil, potash (mineral salts).
What plans do you have in the oil sector?
We have one of the largest technologies in oil and natural gas exploration; we fear zero emission companies in the oil recovery process.
They also seek to increase their exports, with a production of 500,000 barrels per day.
Regarding the extraction of crude oil, Canada is the first country in North America that, instead of using water, injects CO2 into the subsoil to obtain oil.
It is a technology that they are willing to share with Mexico and the United States. When they started with this technology, it took them 4-5 years to implement it. Now that the technology is available, application times are shorter.
What do you think of the T-MEC two years after its entry into force?
The Saskatchewan government has supported it because we are an exporting province and it means a lot, also for imports, so that the free flow of goods is not impeded.
There is a good relationship between Canada and Mexico, between the provinces and between the provinces thanks to the T-MEC.
