“Albertans don’t know what his trade policy is, nobody does,” said Economic Development and Trade Minister Deron Bilous in an interview Friday. “What we do know is that his newly appointed trade critic spent a year campaigning for Donald Trump.”

Dreeshen, who was elected in the Innisfail-Sylvan Lake byelection in July, previously worked as a volunteer on Donald Trump’s successful 2016 presidential campaign.

Bilous said he’s waiting to see Kenney’s detailed itinerary.

A news release said the UCP delegation will depart on Sunday and head to New Delhi, Mumbai, Amritsar and Jamnagar. Pit stops will include a tour of a large petrochemical refinery and a roundtable with oil and gas executives.
