The talk featured in-depth discussions on four topics: the impacts of tariffs and the pandemic on trade, the importance of the French language to cultural identity and trade, cross-industries on both sides of the border, and ways in which the Madawaska's status as one of just a few Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) in the state can promote international trade.
