United Conservative MLA to work with regional leaders on Midwest U.S.-Canada relations policy
June 9, 2022
Lac Ste. Anne-Parkland MLA Shane Getson has been appointed to a regional committee of legislators that will provide a cross-border forum for dialogue and information sharing. This collaboration seeks to ensure the perspective of state and provincial legislators is presented to federal officials in Washington, D.C., and Ottawa, Canada.
The Midwest-Canada Relations Committee provides an opportunity for Midwestern legislators to explore a range of issues, including border policy; supply chains; trade policy and agreements; energy; economic development and more.
“It is an honour to work with the members of the Committee, all of whom have a shared conviction to maintain a prosperous and productive relationship between our nations. I look forward to working with them and to see our trade policy strengthened through our collaboration.”
As a member of the bipartisan Midwestern Legislative Conference (MLC) Midwest-Canada Relations Committee, MLA Getson will be working with leaders from 11 U.S. states and four Canadian provinces.
Lawmakers from the following states and province are members of the MLC: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Saskatchewan, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. In addition, members of the legislative assemblies in three Canadian provinces — Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario — are MLC affiliates.
