Premier Brad Wall has congratulated Prime Minister Stephen Harper on the announcement of an agreement in principle on a comprehensive free trade deal between Canada and the European Union (EU).
"The federal government has struck a good deal for Canada and for Saskatchewan and our government will support it," Wall said.
"It has been a long process to reach this stage, but we can now look forward to an agreement that will open markets for Saskatchewan businesses and exporters to the European Union, particularly for our province's agricultural products."
The Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) will provide Saskatchewan's agricultural producers in areas like beef, bison and grain with significant new access to the EU.
National estimates for increased activity for the Canadian agriculture sector as a whole through CETA total $1.3 billion.
