Saskatchewan wants to get closer to Mexico

How to bring Mexico and Canada closer together?

Between Mexico and Canada is the United States; however, thanks to technology, which has advanced over the past two years, it is easier to stay connected and establish a closer two-way relationship.

Another way to be more connected is through agreements, like the one signed between Mexico and the University of Saskatchewan regarding student exchanges.

What are the plans for the office in Mexico?

Depending on the result of the work that is carried out from now on, the possibility of increasing the staff will be analyzed, currently three people are working, as well as opening more offices in other cities of Mexico.

We do things well, we have already had meetings with Bimbo and Trimex, two of the biggest millers in the world.

Saskatchewan is more than agriculture, we have rare elements, petroleum, potash (mineral salts).

What projects do you have in the oil sector?

We have one of the most important oil and gas exploration technologies; we fear zero-emission companies in the oil recovery process.

Likewise, they are looking to increase their exports, with a production of 500,000 barrels per day.

Regarding the extraction of crude oil, Canada is the first country in North America which, instead of using water, injects CO2 into the subsoil to obtain oil.

It is a technology that they are ready to share with Mexico and the United States. When they started with this technology, it took them 4-5 years to implement it. Now that the technology is available, application times are shorter.

What do you think of T-MEC two years after its entry into force?

The Government of Saskatchewan supported it because we are an exporting province and that means a lot, also for imports, so that the free movement of goods is not impeded.

There is a good relationship between Canada and Mexico, between the provinces and between the provinces thanks to T-MEC.
