Mayor Victor Fedeli met with Ambassador Ron Kirk, United States Trade Representative, and discussed how Northern Ontario companies can further benefit from the relief put in place in the Buy American restrictions.

Ambassador Kirk is a member of U.S. President Obama's Cabinet and serves as the President's principal trade advisor, negotiator, and spokesperson on trade issues.

"Our President and every member of our administration is more focused on what we can do to stimulate job creation in the United States right now and we believe that trade can play a critical role in doing that", said Mr. Kirk.

Mayor Fedeli agreed with him and added "Trade will continue to play a significant role in bringing people back to work, on both sides of the border. These talks are important to area companies like Central Welding, Wabi Iron Works, Tembec, etc."
