HALIFAX—The Canadian government will lead trade missions for women, Indigenous and LGBTQ businesses and entrepreneurs later this year, International Trade Minister said Saturday. The announcement was part of a speech promoting the Liberal government's progressive trade agenda at the party's national convention in Halifax. "In 2018, Canada will lead a women business ministerial trade mission. We will also lead the first ever LGBTQ trade mission, and the first ever trade mission devoted to Indigenous business owners and entrepreneurs," Champagne said. "We are going to lead the way in the world, making sure that every community reaps the benefit of trade."
