Scholz, Trudeau aim to drum up business as German leader visits Canada

​A busy day lies ahead for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz during the first full day of the German leader's three-day visit to Canada.

The two leaders will start the day in Montreal with a meeting, at which they will be joined by numerous federal cabinet ministers.

Trudeau's office says the leaders hope to encourage investment and partnership opportunities, including in the critical minerals and automotive sectors.

Scholz and Trudeau then plan to tour a national artificial intelligence institute funded by the federal government before heading to Toronto for an official dinner.
