This Senate resolution formally recognizes the strong partnership between the State of Indiana and Alberta, Canada, highlighting their mutually beneficial economic relationship. The resolution points to significant trade figures, with bilateral trade reaching $645.3 million in 2023 and Canadian trade supporting over 22,000 jobs in Indiana. It also emphasizes Alberta's crucial role in supplying crude oil to the U.S., particularly to Midwest refineries like the one in Whiting, Indiana, and notes Indiana's key exports to Alberta, which include motor vehicles and machinery. The resolution further illustrates this partnership through examples of companies like Stantec, a Canadian firm with a significant presence and project history in Indiana, and INCA Renewtech, which utilizes Canadian hemp biomass to produce materials for Indiana's RV industry, underscoring a shared history of collaboration and integrated economies. Finally, it directs the Secretary of the Indiana Senate to send copies of this resolution to the Alberta Midwest Office, which is located within the Consulate General of Canada in Chicago, to formally acknowledge this ongoing relationship.
