Canada is losing ground and falling behind U.S. on trade with Africa, senators say

OTTAWA — Senators are warning Trade Minister Mary Ng that Ottawa may be falling behind its peers in establishing deeper trade ties with Africa.
The Senate foreign-affairs committee has been studying for months whether Global Affairs Canada is responding to the country’s diplomatic needs.
Ng took senators’ questions, which ranged from how Canada will form deeper ties in the Indo-Pacific to whether diplomats are doing enough to leverage the knowledge of Canadians living abroad.
