Washington, D.C./Ottawa, Feb 24 (IBNS): During National Governors Association's (NGA) Winter Meeting, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said that Ontario was open for business to key U.S. political and business leaders, media reports said. 

NGA provides a shared platform to work together to develop solutions aimed at improving people’s lives. 

Nearly 9 million American jobs reportedly depend on Canada–U.S. trade and investment with two-way trade valued at CAD$390 billion in 2017.

During his meeting with  U.S. political and business leaders, Ford also had spoken to 30 U.S. business leaders about shared priorities, including the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), with an aim to remove trade barriers to work together to drive economic growth and prosperity on both sides of the border.

Ford also connected with Premier Scott Moe of Saskatchewan and Premier Blaine Higgs of New Brunswick to promote scrapping the job-killing carbon tax, and remove internal trade barriers between Canadian jurisdictions.
