Prime Minister Mark Carney says a Canadian company's bid to supply nuclear energy to Turkey has a real shot of winning the lucrative tender.
Carney is meeting with Turkish business leaders in Istanbul today, a day after he announced a new strategic partnership between Canada and Turkey to deepen co-operation on a range of files.
Energy is one of the pillars of that agreement, and he says the AtkinsRéalis bid to supply two planned Turkish power plants with the Candu nuclear reactor now has "good chances" of succeeding.
Carney is in Turkey for a three-day trip to strike a new strategic partnership and pursue free trade with the NATO ally.

Family says soldier killed in fire lived his dream
The mother of a Canadian soldier killed in a fire at a military base in Alberta says his lifelong goal was to join the Forces and wear his uniform with pride.
Patricia Farrell says her son, Private Shaun Farrell, lived with dyslexia and Asperger's syndrome, and overcame any obstacle in his way.
The 23-year-old was one of four soldiers killed Saturday when a grass fire, fanned by high winds, at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright overtook a live-fire training exercise on a nearby grenade range.
Out of the 84 soldiers on the exercise, 39 were sent to hospital.

Carney sees 'no merit' in U.S. politics interference claim
Prime Minister Mark Carney says there is "no merit" to American claims that Canadians might be interfering in U.S. politics ahead of November's midterm elections.
Officials in the Trump administration, including U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra, have claimed Canadian politicians are interfering in the democratic process south of the border.
Hoekstra has said the administration is watching Canadian politicians closely ahead of the midterms and warned them to butt out of American politics.
Carney has consistently rebutted accusations of electoral interference and told reporters in Turkey today that he's "disappointed" the U.S. envoy is spreading those claims.

Military may deploy Arctic sensor stations in 2027
National Defence could start installing 47 new sensor stations across the North as early as next summer.
It's called Project Crossbow and it's part of a wider plan to bolster Norad’s surveillance and early warning abilities.
Documents National Defence filed with a Nunavut regulatory board detail some of the plans, although much about the new sensors remains classified.
The installations would start in Yukon near the Alaskan border and follow along the Arctic coast across the Northwest Territories, reaching as far out as Alert, Nvt.

Ottawa says it's working with EU on foreign aid
Canada's closer ties with Europe could help fill some of the gaps left behind as the United States withdraws from foreign aid, says the secretary of state for international development.
Randeep Sarai says Canada is talking with the European Union about leveraging private and philanthropic dollars for foreign aid.
U.S. foreign aid spending dropped 57 per cent in 20-25 after Washington dismantled USAID, an action Harvard University researchers say caused hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is cutting global health spending while encouraging private investment, and Sarai says European officials have looked to him for guidance on the file.
