Rep. Sauer
speaking with the President of the Quebec National Assembly, Jacques Chagnon. |
“In today’s globally interconnected world, international trade in a critical component to the success of Illinois’ economy,” said Sauer. “This conference provided an excellent opportunity to speak directly with leaders from our largest trade partners about the positive impact of our current trade policies and how restructuring NAFTA can benefit us even more.”
During the conference, legislators and provincial leaders from the United States, Canada and Mexico participated in educational seminars and trilateral talks about the current impact of trade between various U.S. states and their counterparts in Canada and Mexico. Considering that Canada is Illinois’ largest international trading partner and Mexico is the state’s second largest partner, the conference was particularly valuable to Sauer and his Illinois colleagues.

Just before his departure for Quebec, Sauer became a Shavee of the St. Baldrick’s Headshave for Cures effort to raise funds and awareness about childhood cancers and proudly showed off his freshly shaved head during the conference. More than $1,500 was raised to support childhood cancer research.
