OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney is going to New York City on Wednesday and Thursday to meet with business leaders and try to court more investment, a running theme of his time in office. 

The Prime Minister’s Office made the announcement Sunday, one day before Parliament reconvenes for the round of sitting days before the summer break. 

The PMO announcement says that Carney will meet with unspecified CEOs, entrepreneurs, business leaders and money managers to pitch Canada as an investment destination.

This comes just weeks before the Canada-United States-Mexico agreement on free trade enters its mandatory review period amid U.S. tariffs triggering a trade war with Canada. 

Carney is also scheduled to deliver remarks at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday.

The trip announcement says that this address will focus on “Canada’s new economic strategy” and how it is progressing.
