Quotes

“Canadian companies have expertise and solutions to offer. For example, hundreds of millions of Chinese citizens are served by Canadian ultraviolet water- and wastewater-treatment technology. Engaging with China on clean technology continues to be a priority, and the Government of Canada is supporting Canadian companies to make further inroads into the Chinese market.”

– Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change
