View answerI wrote to the new Prime Minister of Canada, Mr Justin Trudeau shortly after the Canadian Federal election to congratulate him on his victory.
In my letter I also highlighted the close historical links between Ireland and Canada, and assured him of the Government’s commitment to continuing to strengthen economic, political and people-to-people links between our two countries. These issues will continue to be advanced by the Government, through the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade and his Department.
I have not spoken to Prime Minister Trudeau since his appointment.
