BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) -- Canada and Brazil are talking about helping third-world countries such as Haiti to produce biofuels, a top adviser to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Wednesday.
Canada's Governor General Michaelle Jean, who was born in Haiti, took up the subject with Silva during a visit to the Brazilian capital, international affairs adviser Marco Aurelio Garcia told reporters.
Jean and Silva also discussed ways to strengthen already existing assistance programs for Haiti in health and reforestation, Garcia said.
Jean reiterated Canada's desire to double trade with Brazil by 2012. Trade between the two nations hit $3.5 billion last year. Brazil is Canada's third largest export market in the Americas.
